Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following best describes the typical forgetting curve?
A
a steady, slow decline in retention over time
B
a steady, rapid decline in retention over time
C
a rapid initial decline in retention becoming stable thereafter
D
a slow initial decline in retention becoming rapid thereafter
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: -Spaced learning This can be achieved with spaced learning, which is why it’s considered one of the best methods for combating the learning curve. Spaced learning helps learners manage what learned information is retained, enabling them to reshape the forgetting curve.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Forgetting Curve, according to Ebbinghaus, is exponential. It begins abruptly, with the amount of retained knowledge plummeting after we receive new information. The majority of forgetting happens within the first hour after learning.

Detailed explanation-4: -The same person can have a good memory for one experience and a poor memory for another. For example, a science fiction enthusiast who remembers every detail of a movie a month later who can’t remember a math concept they learned yesterday.
