The tapping task was developed by Mike Albers of ECU for measuring the usability of written items. It involves the principles of cognitive psychology called, cognitive load.Cognitive load is said to be the amount of information that one can concentrate on before losing focus. When "overloaded" the mind switches to concentrating on only one piece of information and effectively ignores the rest.
