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.
