Also, old theories from the 70s that were used in extremely specific contexts like classrooms are not inclusive of all we now know about plasticity, the incredible effects of challenge, the dangers of modeling the human mind as an empty bucket that "fills" to capacity and then can't work.
Such little respect for the human mind and all the fields that have been studying it when we cherrypick one concept like this.
I mean why not fixate on the spacing effect or the testing effect instead.
