A pattern to predict the occurrence of moment of information overload during online information searching / Nur Amirah Mustapar

Scholars have identified that individuals are confronted with information overload during searching for the information in the virtual library. They sometimes do not realize they are overloaded until the symptoms appear and this will lead to many bad effects such as stress and decreased efficiency i...

Moreover, previous literature claims that information overload also will lead to the changes in physiological signal of an individual which later result in decreased efficiency of information processing.
