Objective: Algorithms to detect changes in cognitive load using non-invasive biosensors (e.g. electroencephalography (EEG)) have the potential to improve human-computer interactions by adapting systems to an individual's current information processing capacity, which may enhance performance and mitigate costly errors.

Students are tested on a lesson after its initial study and are then retested after a variable time lag. We observe forgetting consistent with power function decay at a rate that varies across lessons but not across students.
