Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lashley's law of mass action suggests that the efficiency of complex learning depends on the total amount of brain tissue available rather than the type of brain tissue or its location. This law supports the idea that a greater amount of gray matter in humans could potentially lead to better learning capabilities compared to lower animals.
