Üleküllastumist

Üleküllastumist, meaning oversaturation, is a concept that can be applied in various fields, most notably in chemistry and psychology. In chemistry, it refers to a solution that contains more solute than it can normally dissolve at a given temperature and pressure. This usually happens when a solution is cooled down or has had more solvent evaporated, leading to a metastable state where the excess solute remains dissolved. If disturbed, for instance by adding a seed crystal or agitation, the excess solute will precipitate out, returning the solution to a saturated state.

In psychology, üleküllastumist describes a state of being overwhelmed by too much information, stimulation, or stimuli. This can lead to cognitive overload, reduced ability to process new information, and feelings of stress or fatigue. For example, constantly being exposed to news, social media, and advertisements can create a sense of informational oversaturation. Similarly, experiencing too many intense emotional events in a short period can lead to emotional oversaturation. Managing üleküllastumist often involves reducing the input of stimuli, taking breaks, and focusing on processing existing information before taking in more. It highlights the human mind's capacity limits and the importance of balance in managing external inputs.
