Correct option is E
Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve shows that forgetting is most rapid immediately after learning new information. His research demonstrated that a large portion of information is forgotten within the first 20 minutes to an hour, and then the rate of forgetting slows down over time. This exponential decay means that the greatest loss of information occurs shortly after learning.
Information Booster:
1. Ebbinghaus used himself as the subject for experiments on memory and forgetting.
2. The forgetting curve suggests that repetition or reinforcement can help reduce forgetting.
3. Retention stabilizes after the initial rapid drop, with information retained more effectively over time.
4. Memory consolidation occurs after initial learning, where information becomes more stable.
5. The study emphasizes the importance of spaced repetition in learning.
