Cognitive Friction Reduction

Meaning

Cognitive Friction Reduction refers to the clinical strategy aimed at minimizing the mental effort required for executive functions such as decision-making, attention, and working memory. This intervention focuses on enhancing the neurological efficiency of information processing, thereby improving mental clarity and reducing the subjective feeling of cognitive strain or “brain fog.” Achieving this reduction is a key outcome in optimizing hormonal balance, as hormones profoundly influence neurotransmitter activity and cerebral blood flow.
