Cluster Theory

Cluster Theory suggests that knowledge is organized in groups or "clusters" based on related themes or concepts. When we learn new information, we associate it with what we already know, forming connections among similar ideas. This approach helps explain how people recall information: the mind retrieves entire clusters of related concepts rather than isolated facts. In practice, Cluster Theory can enhance learning and memory by encouraging us to see relationships between topics, making it easier to understand and remember information as a cohesive network rather than fragmented pieces.
