The Capacity Theory of Working Memory
If you fill out more of your working memory with more stuff, eventually there comes a point where you can't anymore.

So this is what's called the capacity theory of working memory. And basically that working memory is of limited capacity.

That is a fundamental limitation on any kind of learning.
