the claim

The curse of knowledge affects communication between experts and non-experts.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the curse of knowledge affects communication between experts and non-experts?

Unclear. Three sources partially support the claim: a visualization study finds the curse of knowledge leads experts to misjudge what novices perceive, a modeling paper defines the bias as reducing communication quality, and a forum post offers anecdotal reports that experts explain basics poorly to non-experts. None covers the general claim across all expert–non-expert communication.
