Feeling Saturated? Take a deep breath...
What is Saturation?
When a learner has reached his or her cognitive capacity at any given time, he or she is saturated. When saturated, the brain cannot easily process any more information. Time is required for saturation to decrease; a teacher must be aware of this state, recognize it in students, and be able to occupy them with less stressful activities when they reach this state in order to allow for desaturation.
