Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve shows that memory retention declines sharply at first but levels off over time, meaning that the rate of forgetting decreases. Therefore, the number of syllables remembered would not significantly change between 10 hours and 24 hours, as most forgetting occurs early on.
