The forgetting curve, a concept introduced by Hermann Ebbinghaus, demonstrates how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it. This phenomenon poses a significant challenge to traditional training methods, where large amounts of information are often delivered in a short period, leading to rapid forgetting. However, microlearning has emerged as an effective solution to this problem, ensuring that learners retain information better and longer. Integrating microlearning into your overall training approach can significantly enhance your Training ROI (Return on Investment). Understanding the Forgetting Curve The forgetting curve illustrates that without reinforcement or practice, people tend to forget about 50% of newly learned information within an hour, and up to 90% within a week. This rapid decline in retention can render traditional training methods inefficient, as the knowledge and skills imparted during lengthy training sessions are quickly lost. Several fac...
