Cutts' Law

Cutts' Law, named after researcher Cutts, suggests that the amount of information a person can remember or learn is limited. It implies that the usefulness of new knowledge is influenced by existing knowledge, meaning people can only effectively absorb and retain a manageable amount of information at one time. In practical terms, this law highlights the importance of breaking down complex information into smaller, more digestible pieces and connecting new information to what one already knows to enhance understanding and retention. Thus, managing information overload is key to effective learning.
