Researchers at UC Santa Barbara developed a predictive model that determines how much a person is able to learn. They found that this capacity is independent of how much a person already knows. The brain is made up of many different "modules" that all interconnect and talk to each other. These connections change over time and the researchers found that the flexibility of these connections and the capacity for them to change is the biggest determinant of how much a person is able to learn.
Using this knowledge, people might be able to know when studying or physical therapy is going to be effective. This could help people better schedule their day and increase the efficiency of these processes.
