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!

Cognitive Incognito

A dual-field concept in Artificial Intelligence and Psychology coined by R. Priyadarshi.
In AI (Computer Science): An architecture where a model processes information recursively in its latent hidden states (vector space) without generating output tokens. It allows AI to "think silently" before speaking, saving compute on token generation and protecting internal logic.
In Psychology: The state of "Incubation," where the subconscious mind solves complex problems while the conscious mind is disengaged.
"The model didn't hallucinate because it was running in Cognitive Incognito mode for 500 cycles before it answered."
