Did you know that most training/reading is a waste of time?
Ever heard of the Ebbinhaus Effect? No – don’t worry most people haven’t but it can really help us to understand why its hard to learn new things and to retain that knowledge.
Hermann Ebbinghaus received his doctor of philosophy degree in Germany in 1873 at the age of 23. While teaching at the University of Berlin, he pioneered research about human memory. In 1885, he published "Ebbinghaus' Curve of Forgetting" showing that a given piece of learning is forgotten by more than half its audience in one hour. The share of the audience that retains the message is reduced to 33.7 percent after one day, to 27.8 percent after two days, and to 21.1 percent after 31 days. However, if you remind yourself of what you have learnt on a regular basis, you have a much greater chance of remembering and using your new found knowledge. This is illustrated in the graph below.
Look at the turquoise line and see how quickly you can forget almost everything without reminders!
