Beat the Forgetting Curve

• Herman Ebbinghaus
• Adapted with grateful thanks
• Prof. V. Viswanadham

26
Ebbinghaus Curve
27
How do we forget?
Forgetting curve would start here if we could
remember everything after a lecture
However, you have the potential to forget less
PLUS remember more if you review immediately
after class
Forgetting curve would actually start here as we
typically remember only about 75 at the end of a
lecture
28
Overcoming the Forgetting Curve
Immediately after class
24 hours later
1 week later (or sooner)
1 month later (or sooner)
Notice how less is forgotten after each review!!
29
So, Review is the secret

• 10 min - After class (or in the evening) by
  completing, organizing comprehending
  (rewriting, typing) notes
• 24 hr Next day, before forgetting phase begins.
  Reread notes, condense the main ideas create
  questions
• 1 week - review and self-test your recall or do
  it with your friends.
• Thus, when you prepare for your midterms, you
  would have already reviewed the material a
  minimum of 3 times

30
So, Review is the secret

• Review is Repetition
• Repetition is internalization
• Internalization is Absorption
• Absorption is making sure that
• we never forget
• Not forgetting leads to
• better performance
