Thank you so much for posting about this topic. It's really helpful, especially for me. As a product trainer, I have a lot of materials to study from time to time and tend to experience "cramming" at times or what you have called as cognitive overload. This article and the ones you linked with sure did gave me more advises on how to study effectively. Glad I have read this post.
