0015 | Cognitive Load Workshop
[INTERACTIVE SESSION]
PresenterPresenters: Jen Baker and Robert Hunziker
Case Study
Presentation
Join us as we explore accessible design and development practices and they ways in which they can help us build inclusive, barrier-free experiences. Too narrow a focus can exclude people, blocking access and leading to further marginalization. In this workshop we will better understand 4 common cognitive barriers, which refer to the amount of mental effort required to complete a particular task, how these affect users, and how to avoid or solve for them using HCD. Digital accessibility sometimes focuses on specific disabilities, neglecting the broad spectrum of disabilities and experiences. Learning about cognitive loads improves understanding of the wider experience of humans. This case study will overview how predictable disasters redefine quality health care and how Medicare can reimagine services and models to better serve their population.
