LESS-IS-MORE HYPOTHESIS

By N., Sam M.S.

a theory which implies teaching young and infantile children quickly with smaller pieces of information is much more beneficial that teaching large vast quantities of information over the same time period. This allows children to internalize the information and therefore understand it to a greater degree.

LESS-IS-MORE HYPOTHESIS: "The less-is-more hypothesis claims that children will learn quicker and better if the information provided is done so via simple methods."
