About
CLAM or Cognitive Load Assessment for Manufacturing is a method and a tool for assessing mental or cognitive load in primarily assembly manufacturing. It's scientific foundation can be found through the references noted at the bottom of this page and is continually in development.
Principal investigators and developers behind CLAM is Dr Peter Thorvald and Dr Jessica Lindblom of University of Skövde, Sweden.
