cognitive burden asymmetry

In psychology, cognitive burden asymmetry refers to the unequal distribution of cognitive load and its effects across different parts of the brain or on different cognitive functions. This asymmetry is evident in brain lateralization, where hemispheres specialize in certain tasks, and can become more pronounced under high cognitive load, potentially affecting performance and leading to biased processing or fatigue. For example, tasks may be processed more efficiently or with a greater "burden" on one side of the brain depending on the task's nature and the individual's specific neural wiring.

When I tried to multitask during finals, I felt the cognitive burden asymmetry kick in—my left brain was struggling with math while my right brain was zoning out on my playlist!

Burdenized

Burdenized- To be a continuing burden when it shouldn't

I find that people think they can't talk about these things even in the society that we live in with so much awareness it's still burdenized.
