Research direction

Start with the lesson at https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/05-memory.html and review the existing sections on memory, attention, and cognitive load. Reorganize the content around the two resources and cognitive overload as described; the work is done when the lesson clearly separates these concepts and their management strategies.
