*Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve: Why training can never stop

Ebbinghaus' Study on Memory

German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus published a study in 1885 highlighting how memory retention diminishes over time. This study, validated in 2015 by the University of Amsterdam, demonstrates the rapid decline in the amount of information retained without reinforcement.

Key Discoveries

  • Memories weaken as time passes.
  • Significant memory loss occurs shortly after initial learning.
  • Retention is better for meaningful information.
  • Presentation style can influence memory retention.
  • Emotional and physiological factors, like stress and sleep, impact memory.

Strategies to Combat Forgetting

    • Use "Spaced Learning" to review information at key moments.
    • Overlearn by putting in extra effort during the learning phase.
    • Present information in a clear, relevant, and purposeful manner, emphasizing its benefits.
    • Continuously challenge and test memory to strengthen recall.

Track Selling Institute's Take

We incorporate these findings into our Learn-Practice-Reinforce methodology, particularly emphasizing Spaced Learning.

Spaced Learning in Practice

We suggest a series of learning events, spread over time, to enhance memory retention of skills and knowledge from your initial workshop.
