Document Summary
The more information you have required, the easier and quicker it is to add new information. The amount learned depends on time spent learning: if you double learning time you double the amount of information stored. Total time hypothesis: the proposal that amount learned is a simple function of the amount of time spent on the learning task. Extensive practice will enhance performance; and if you want to be a professional novelist or accomplished poet, you need to continue to strive to focus on your weaknesses and develop strengths. This requires a high degree of motivation, which will depend on social factors and access to opportunities, and genetic influences etc. Beginning to look at expertise and changes in brain structure. You get what you pay for is a reasonable rule of thumb for learning, but to move beyond you need repetitive practice.
