Memory Techniques Worksheet: The Forgetting Curve

Memory techniques lesson 4: The forgetting curve · Set 65 · 40 questions

Memory tip (Review before it fades): Helps you keep it: reviewing the next day, testing yourself, explaining to a friend, linking to what you know, a good night’s sleep. Lets it fade: reading it once only, cramming the last night, learning without meaning, never testing yourself. Review day = learning day + the gaps: learn on day 3, review 2, then 4, then 8 days later → 3 + 2 + 4 + 8 = day 17.
