I was under the impression that “brain space” was unlimited for all practical intents and purposes, and that having more stuff in your brain might actually even make extra learning easier—e.g. I’ve often heard it said that a person loses fluid intelligence when they age, but this is compensated by them having more knowledge that they can connect new things with. Do you know of studies to the contrary?
