Real-Time Cognitive Load Monitor
Live tracking: Response latency + error spikes + hesitation patterns → auto-adjust task difficulty
Current Load Status
Cognitive Load Index
65%
Status: Optimal (50-75)
Response Latency
1.2seconds
Normal (1-2s is thinking, >3s is struggling)
↓ improving
Error Spike Pattern
8% (baseline: 5%)
Slight increase → mild cognitive load
stable
Hesitation Indicators
3per minute
Pauses before action (normal: 0-2)
↑ slightly increasing
Adaptive Adjustment Protocol
Load 50-75 (Optimal)
→ Continue current difficulty
📚 Vygotsky: Zone of Proximal Development
Load 76-85 (High)
→ Add hint or reduce complexity slightly
📚 Sweller: Avoid extraneous load
Load >85 (Overload)
→ Pause task, reduce intrinsic + extraneous load
📚 Paas & Merriënboer: Real-time adjustment
Implementation Note
This dashboard displays simulated metrics. Real implementation requires:
- ✓ Backend logging of response times per action
- ✓ Error tracking (baseline vs current session)
- ✓ Hesitation detection (gaps between UI interaction and response)
- ✓ Real-time algorithm to compute CLT score
- ✓ Auto-difficulty adjustment triggers
