What is the text mainly about
Read and answer
1. According to Ebbinghaus, when does forgetting happen quickest
In the first nine hours.
2. How much information is forgotten 24 hours after studying
Around two-thirds.
3. What is the main feature of the “forgetting curve”
It starts with a sharp drop in the first hours and is followed by a gentle curve.
4. According to Ebbinghaus, which part of a list is easier to remember
Things close to the beginning and end of a list or series.
5. How many times longer are meaningful things remembered compared to meaningless ones
About ten times longer.
Read and answer
6. Why is it easier to remember meaningful things than meaningless ones
Meaningful things are remembered about ten times longer than meaningless ones because they make sense and have meaning.
7. How does studying in many sessions over longer periods of time affect memory
If you study over long periods of time, in many learning sessions, it will be easier to remember things.

T
( ) Ebbinghaus did his experiments on animals.
( ) It is easier to learn new things than to relearn things you forgot.
( ) Meaningless information is forgotten more easily than meaningful information.
( ) The forgetting curve shows that we forget slowly at first.
F

1. Which finding do you think is the most helpful for us students Why
Discuss and say
1. I think “meaningful things are remembered longer” is most helpful because it tells us to understand first, not just memorize.
2. The “forgetting curve” is most helpful because it reminds me to review within 9 hours.”
Discuss and say
2. How can you use one of these findings to improve your own study habits
1. I will try to understand the meaning of new words instead of just repeating them.
2. I will make a revision plan to review notes after class.
Make and show
Suppose your partner is not good at memorying things. Try to give him/her some advice. Make a conversation and act it out.
A: I always forget English words the next day! It’s so frustrating.
B: Don’t worry! Forgetting is quickest in the first 9 hours. You should review the words 1 hour after learning them.
A: What else can I do
B: Also, try to make stories with the words—meaningful things are remembered 10 times longer than meaningless ones!
Example
1. Who & What
Summary
- Forgetting is fastest in the first 9 hours.
- Relearning > Learning new things.
- Meaningful information remembered 10 times longer.
- More time/care → longer memory.
- Spaced learning > cramming.
- Beginning & End of a list are easiest to remember.
- Hermann Ebbinghaus
- First scientist to study memory & learning experimentally.
2. Key Findings
Summary
- 1 hour: very quick forgetting
- 9 hours: about 60% forgotten
- 24 hours: about 2/3 (67%) forgotten
- Shape: Sharp drop → Gentle curve
3. The Forgetting Curve
