Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The famous Ebbinghaus forgetting curve indicates that how well we remember information depends on
A
how long ago we learned that information.
B
the nature of our mood during encoding and retrieval.
C
whether the information is part of our implicit or explicit memory.
D
whether the information was learned by deep or shallow processing.
E
whether proactive interference occurred.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Forgetting Curve, or the Ebbinghaus Curve of Forgetting, is an influential memory model. It shows how learned information slips out of our memories over time – unless we take action to keep it there.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, the rate at which a person forgets depends on several factors including memory strength, how meaningful the material is, and physiological factors such as stress. The good news is that there are a number of methods you can use in your courses to help your learners challenge the forgetting curve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ebbinghaus made a second discovery: The downward slope of the forgetting curve can be softened by repeating the learned information at particular intervals. This principle is the foundation of the learning method known as “spaced repetition, ” where material is learned then reviewed after increasingly large time gaps.
