Learn something and remember it FOREVER!

Did you know that based on experiments on human memory by Herman Ebbinghaus, you forget 80% of what you have learnt just after 24 hours!!!

Yes! If you choose to do Nothing,

You will lose 80% of what you learn!!!

Here is a strategy to make your learning stick!

By reviewing what you learn over 5 time intervals, it will help to capture the knowledge into your long-term memory more effectively.

1. First review. Immediately after a period of learning and memorization. (Take a short break of no more than 10 minutes then review)
2. Second review. No later than twenty-four hours after the memorization.?
3. Third review. Depending on the amount and type of information, should take place no later than one week after the initial memorization.
4. Fourth review. Four weeks later?
5. Fifth review. Three to six months later.

This is spaced reviewing which Ebbinghaus called the ‘Distributed-Practice Effect’.

The graph below explains.

The next time you need to learn something, use a different strategy.

Try the Distributed-Practice method.

It will save you time and effort. And who knows, might even lead you closer to your next promotion!
