Description

This PR adds a new UX psychology and usability concept titled Cognitive Load to the uiux/concepts/ section.

New folder: content/uiux/concepts/cognitive-load/
Markdown file: cognitive-load.md defines cognitive load in UX, describes where it commonly appears in digital interfaces, breaks down the three types (intrinsic, extraneous, and germane), and provides practical techniques to reduce unnecessary mental effort for users.

This entry supports UX decision-making by connecting cognitive psychology principles with interface design strategies and complements related topics like attention, memory, and task flow optimization.
