Resources > Glossary > Forgetting curve
First developed by German scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve maps out a predictable rate of decay for human memories.
Modern learning science acts to flatten the learning curve for concepts that a learner needs to remember — making them fade from memory much more slowly.
