According to Failure Of Discovery Based Learning And Benefits Of Guided Training Methods-Clark:
Sweller (2007) argues that our brain prevents us from learning too many things at once. This is to avoid extensive and radical changes in our in our thinking and behavior. “Because all learning is novel, it is potentially as harmful as it is beneficial”. When overwhelmed, we switch to daydreaming
transformational games shouldn't overwhelm the player
This, in combination with “stress allows us to learn” seems to show that learning is painful and pain allows learning. Poetic.
