As I’ve discussed previously , learning science was an outgrowth of cognitive science. This, too, is cognitive; first because design approaches have to reflect aligning with how users brains work. Then, also, because design processes have to accommodate how designers brains work, and don’t !

For most of us, our brains are highly efficient forgetting machines. The simplest way to convince our brains that information is important is to reinforce it through repetition. Again: our brains are designed to forget irrelevant information. We need this, because otherwise we would retain too much unnecessary information.

Millennials get bored quickly, because their brains are “twitchy.”. Since the human brain isn’t really capable of multi-tasking, this means that they have learned how to switch rapidly between media and pick up where they left off. However, each time we switch tasks, our brain expends energy, called switch cost.
