The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that without review, humans forget ~70% of newly learned information within 24 hours. Reviewing at spaced intervals (Day 1, 3, 7, 21) flattens the curve, locking knowledge into permanent long-term memory.

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

R = e^(-t / S), where R = retention, t = time, S = memory strength

Ebbinghaus exponential forgetting curve equation.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Learned Calculus Derivatives on Sept 4

Solution: Review 1: Sept 5 (+1d), Review 2: Sept 7 (+3d), Review 3: Sept 11 (+7d), Review 4: Sept 25 (+21d)
• Each review resets the forgetting curve at higher baseline strength

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long should each spaced review session take?

Only 5 to 15 minutes! Because you review before memory fades completely, re-activation is rapid.
