Cognitive development

the theory that processing capacity is limited by the number of related dimensions that must be represented at once, with this number increasing over childhood.

In cognitive development, relational complexity theory refers to the theory that processing capacity is limited by the number of related dimensions that must be represented at once, with this number increasing over childhood. This meaning comes from Halford (1998) in Behavioral and Brain Sciences.[1]
