First proposed by German psychologist
Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century,
the concept suggests a significant amount of
a Davs
information learned can be forgotten within a
309» arven
short period. Ebbinghaus used the curve to
2 Davs
demonstrate that the rate of forgetting is greatest
shortly after learning, then slows down over
5 Davs
time. This trend has since been validated by
modern neuroscience in several published
papers.
