additional rehearsal of verbal information increases
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Automatic processing is the unconscious, effortless encoding of all of these things. Hermann Ebbinghaus’s learning experiments using nonsense syllables show that: additional rehearsal of verbal information increases retention.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885) invented the 3-letter nonsense syllable (e.g., GUX, VEC, etc.) in order to eliminate the effects of prior familiarity. He generated the first learning and forgetting curve s for over 1, 000 lists of nonsense syllables using himself as the subject.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nonsense syllables consisting of two consonants separated by a vowel were originally proposed by Hermann Ebbinghaus as the proper material to be used in the experimental study of verbatim-memory, such material being of uniform difficulty, accurately measurable, available in sufficient quantity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ebbinghaus experimented with his own ability to remember using a list of nonsense syllables, which he attempted to recall after different lengths of time. His experiences and results revealed a number of key aspects of memory: Memories weaken over time.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ebbinghaus also uncovered an unexpected pattern in memory retention. He found that there is typically a very rapid loss of recall in the first hour, followed by a slightly slower loss so that after nine hours, about 60 percent is forgotten. After 24 hours, about two-thirds of anything memorized is forgotten.
