Sustained Cognitive Load Capacity

Meaning

Sustained Cognitive Load Capacity is the physiological and neurological ability to maintain high-level executive function, attention, and working memory over prolonged periods without significant performance degradation or excessive mental fatigue. This capacity is directly dependent on stable cerebral energy metabolism, robust neurotransmitter availability, and the resilience of the neuroendocrine system to stress. It is a critical metric for intellectual longevity and high-level productivity.
