Maximizing Learning with Microlearning: Understanding Ebbinghaus' Forgetting Curve

In the realm of training, the quest for optimized learning methodologies is an ongoing endeavor. From traditional classroom settings to modern digital platforms, educators and instructional designers are continually seeking methods to enhance retention and maximize learning efficiency. One such approach gaining prominence is microlearning, a technique rooted in cognitive science principles and epitomized by its ability to counteract the challenges posed by the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.

Introduction to Microlearning

Microlearning is a pedagogical strategy that involves delivering small, focused units of learning material to learners, typically through digital platforms, with the aim of catering to short attention spans and maximizing retention. Unlike traditional lengthy lectures or courses, microlearning breaks down information into bite-sized modules, making it easier for learners to absorb and retain knowledge.

Understanding Ebbinghaus' Forgetting Curve

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, proposed by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, illustrates the rate at which information is forgotten over time when there is no attempt to retain it. Ebbinghaus conducted experiments on himself, memorizing lists of nonsense syllables and then testing his recall at various intervals. His findings revealed a consistent pattern: rapid forgetting shortly after learning, followed by a gradual decline over time.

Ebbinghaus' Curve of Forgetting

Ebbinghaus' Curve of Forgetting graphically represents the phenomenon described by the Forgetting Curve. It depicts the percentage of information retained over time after an initial learning experience. The curve shows a steep decline in retention shortly after learning, with a gradual plateau reached over subsequent days.

The Forgetting Curve Phenomenon

The Forgetting Curve phenomenon highlights the importance of reinforcement and spaced repetition in the learning process. It underscores the notion that without deliberate efforts to reinforce learned material, retention diminishes rapidly. However, by strategically revisiting and reviewing information over spaced intervals, learners can significantly improve retention and counteract the effects of the Forgetting Curve.

Harnessing Microlearning to Combat Forgetting

Microlearning aligns closely with the principles of spaced repetition and reinforcement, making it an effective tool for combating the Forgetting Curve. By delivering concise, targeted content in short bursts, microlearning facilitates frequent exposure to information, thereby reinforcing learning and enhancing retention.

The Learning Curve vs. The Forgetting Curve

While the Forgetting Curve illustrates the decline in retention over time, the Learning Curve represents the opposite phenomenon – the increase in knowledge or skill acquisition over time with repeated practice and learning. Understanding the interplay between these curves is essential for devising effective learning strategies.

The Significance of a Steep Learning Curve

In common parlance, the term "steep learning curve" often refers to a challenging learning process that requires significant effort and adaptation. However, in educational contexts, a steep learning curve can have positive connotations, indicating rapid progress and acquisition of knowledge or skills. It signifies a learning experience characterized by a steep ascent on the Learning Curve, where learners quickly grasp new concepts and demonstrate proficiency.

Maximizing Learning Efficiency with Microlearning

By leveraging microlearning methodologies, educators can capitalize on the principles of spaced repetition and reinforcement to optimize learning efficiency and retention. The modular nature of microlearning allows for flexibility and customization, catering to diverse learning styles and preferences. Additionally, microlearning lends itself well to modern digital platforms, enabling learners to access content anytime, anywhere, thus fostering continuous learning and skill development.

Conclusion

In the quest to maximize learning efficiency and retention, understanding the principles of the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve is paramount. Microlearning emerges as a potent strategy for combating the challenges posed by the Forgetting Curve, offering a tailored approach to knowledge dissemination and retention. By harnessing the power of microlearning, educators and learners alike can navigate the complexities of the learning process with greater efficacy, paving the way for lifelong learning and continuous improvement.

Cognitive Pruning

Definition: Cognitive pruning is a cognitive phenomenon in which the human brain selectively eliminates or weakens less relevant or less frequently accessed memories and information to make room for the retention and consolidation of more important or frequently used knowledge and experiences. It is an adaptive process that helps optimize memory resources and prioritize information based on its significance and utility.

Cognitive Pruning aligns with the concept of “Epistemic Relevance” in epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge and belief. Epistemic relevance explores how individuals determine which information is relevant to their beliefs and understanding of the world. Cognitive pruning can be seen as a practical manifestation of this philosophical concept, as it reflects the brain’s innate ability to discern and prioritize information deemed relevant to one’s cognitive processes.

“In the labyrinthine meadows of memory, the mind becomes an efficient gardener, trimming away the overgrown vines of trivial recollections to nurture the blooming roses of knowledge. Cognitive pruning, the brain’s art of forgetting, is the sculptor of our mental landscape, ensuring that the most meaningful and useful memories take root and flourish.”

@absolutely-not-my-main-blog are you saying i should continue writing the deranged dennis eyebrow Art Tips post ive had in drafts for Too Long

#i was going to basically write a guide on his notable features and how to draw him looking like him hdjsbrjfk #i could go ON about features that are necessary to get right when stylizing his face #most commonly people forget he has attached earlobes (ie. he doesn't really have them at all) #and ofc crooked nose. but that can be hard to convey in a simplistic style #also his mouth is not a M shape it's a W #(for his top lip) there's always a tiny o in the middle because the bottom of his top lip curves up instead of dipping down #can you tell ive done too many face studies #ada speaks

learning how to color with my new screen tablet. turns out people still zoom in digitally and dont put their face up to ~.3 cm from the screen

#pokemon #swsh #champion leon #swordsman/beastiarian AU #coloring with this tablet is turning out to be! a learning curve #keep having to remember to not. plant my face directly onto the tablet to see small details #(this does not work btw. turns out there are a limited number of image particles on a physical screen and looking closer only lets u see the #particles. not the details of the drawing.) #instead of zooming in digitally #I need one of those shelves kids have to put distance between their eyes and their reading materials #like a plastic rack with foam padding and I put my chin on it and it keeps my face off the tablet. like a horse #and also it's still a Feat for my brain to like. delete the stylus tip from my vision. I have to look at the cursor instead of the stylus! #but I dont do that! I look at the stylus! which is big and of darker colors versus the bright screen! and also on top of the screen! #it's like having a new nose. and being Very aware of it. #I think it'll get better I'm already starting to forget it's there at points. that just needs to become more frequent #anyways. it's a curve for a reason. we are taking it a step at a time #inking with this tablet was really fun tho!! everything really is so much bigger and I love the tactile directness.... #but for now. I sleep. and then hopefully tomorrow I take care of more business #have a good night lads!! every day we learn something

saw an artist draw """"out of shape"""" gale and it was the thinnest man ive ever seen. the only lengths they went to was not drawing carved abs onto him but that was just a regular fit guy who drinks enough water. kind of fucked how warped people's perceptions of fat bodies are honestly!

#if you saw the fat guys i wanna fuck you'd hurl etc etc #the life and times of brows #i get this a lot like. when i draw women and i don't give them exaggerated curves (you know how women look irl) #i always get comments like why is she fat? why does she look like a man? #(which you know. stupid comments anyways but.) #when its just like a regular woman who doesn't have a fucked up anime body #like people online just. forget what people look like it's kind of fucked

Rhys has the most baffling nose I have ever attempted to draw it’s thin then it’s wide it’s long in profile but also kinda flat the bridge is concave but the tip points down but the nostrils are higher and every time I’m struggling with it and need a new ref it somehow looks completely different from my prev sketches!! The man has a new nose for every angle and I for one am SICK OF IT SIR.

#me complaining about a man’s nose!! listen rhys is VERY HARD TO DRAW he has so many angles #usually I can get a face down by identifying a unique feature #and if u get that right it automatically looks like them enough to be recognizable #but rhys?? no one is doing faces like him #you want to sketch using simple shapes?? #TOO BAD YOU NEED 5 JUST FOR HIS GODDAMN NOSE #meanwhile I give taika new noses every day and he looks the same because all u need are the eyes and the beard babey #Nathan so easy just curl his top lip up #Matthew honey hook that nose and draw the mouth higher than you think you should boom it’s him #con? forget about it just make an angry rectangle with sunken cheeks #rhys I’m sitting here running Pythagorean theorems about the corners of his mouth and whether I need to draw a bottom lip #sighhhhhh #I think I’m getting better tho now that I’m focusing on practicing him more #ok end of rant why did I do most of this in the tags djdjsjsj #rhys I love u but your face haunts me with its subtle curves and lifts #I need to vesuvian man him

A CURVED tube!

A curved tube at long last! I've been intending to try this for literally years, but kept getting distracted with other projects. (A shocker, I know.) I've made straight tubes lots of times using this wrapping technique but never had the courage to try a curve like this.*

But it worked! Which means that I can make ALL KINDS of complicated shapes and designs, and jewelry, and possibly a cosplay costume I've been contemplating for years...

*Normally, with a straight tube, I can keep the copper strands equally spaced along the steel helix and everything works. If the tube is curved, the copper needs to bunch together for the inside of the curve. Which means I need to vary the spacing between strands, by eye, to give it room to bunch up. And do it during the part where I have the least finger room. Tricky! There might be some clever way to describe the spacing using math, but it would probably need Evil Math and it is too early in the morning for Evil Math.

when you're trying your best under terrible necessity, but your best kind of sucks

john winchester: sorry kids, but when your entire family may or may not be on a demonic hit list and you've got a revenge quest to get cracking on, the price of survival is constant combat-readiness and being forever alone. everyone sam & dean run into for the next season and a half: holy shit are you johnny winchester's boys? john winchester: it's a lonely life, knowing monsters exist. there's no one i can leave you with. there's no one you can turn to. there ARE no trusted adults within five hundred miles of here. like half a dozen other hunters: it's THE sam and dean! thought i'd never get to meet you two in the flesh, what with your daddy being a bridge-burning asshole who doesn't play nice with others... john winchester: if i'm harsh about expecting my orders to be followed, it's because i'm scared out of my mind for your safety. this isn't the life i wanted for you, but it's necessity: you gotta grow up fast and learn to kill or be killed. a goddamn greek chorus by this point: no offense to your old man but if anyone tried to invite my KID along on the reckless bullshit you boys get into, i'd whoop their ass. dean, a well-adjusted young adult whose daddy raised him right: wow, aren't you worried your teenager is gonna get killed because you chickened out of teaching them normal life skills, like going out and shaking their ass as werewolf bait?

#supernatural #john winchester #A+ parenting even when graded on the Hunter Curve #i think some people DO forget he raised them under real ongoing danger and a total civilian upbringing could've screwed them too #but i also think the people who remember that sometimes forget there was a whole network of resources and less-bad approaches out there #and my dude A+ Coping Mechanism'd his way out of ALL of them #in conclusion: he did his best and it's downright horrifying how much his best sucked #spn s1 #spn s2 #shine watches spn

why don't clothes fit me the way they do on a skinny cis guy (<- isn't a skinny cis guy)

#being trans masc is so frustrating because i forget i got the level 1000 gyatt #go forth and find a beautiful trans woman bodily curves of mine #i have so many cool pants that would give away im kweer if i wore them not because they're from alt fashion subcultures #but because my ass and thighs and hips are too femme apparently?!?!? #when will people stop associating allat with women or something #my cis male friends have the biggest fucking asses for some reason AND THEY KEEP ON TWERKING INFRONT OF ME WHEN IM MINDING MY BUSINESS #no but *im* the female and a girl apparently #i wanna go out in tight fitting clothes until i realise i actually have a female body like whatttt #ain't that crazy #im not saying those bodily attributes are inherently femme or indicators of being a girl or a female cause just. no #im just saying that many people think that way #and it's hard trying to be perceived as masc while trying to dress the way i want to #'why do you care about how others perceive you?' because being perceived as a girl makes me feel bad like what #its different from your personality being perceived differently #im aware my gender is something i define but i can also want others to perceive me as a guy too #i cant change the minds of everybody but in the end i still am a masc identifying person and i want people to easily identify me as one #transphobes and people who blatantly refuse to perceive me as one is something else entirely #and if adhering to the binary gender norms is how i can be validated in my gender then so be it #because gender is a social construct and mine is affirmed and solidified through social interaction #other trans people wont do what i do. others do. that's fine. gnc trans people are fucking sick /pos #but unfortunately i do not have it in me to NOT care about how others perceive my gender #because it matters a lot to me and being perceived as a girl hurts

Y'all if you're an Austen fan and haven't read Pride and Protest by Nikki Payne you should get on that asap if only because it has the greatest first meeting between Dorsey and Liza, complete with cringe racial misidentification ("Solidaridad, hermano" lmaooooo) that leads to Liza assuming Dorsey is The Help, Dorsey rolling with it in order to fuck over her protesting his luxury apartment complex, and a don't-look-don't-look-ah-dammit *glances at her tits* moment.

Genuinely a masterclass in how it's possible to wanna bang someone's brains out while making a lot of (wrong) assumptions about them based on first impressions.

#they become a viral meme bc that was inevitable #i'm glad nikki payne actually took the time to make Liza a little cringy in that flawed sjw kinda way #she's not a caricature but she's still learning #a lot of p&p adaptations focus on darcy's learning curve and forget that lizzy had some growing to do too #nikki payne #pride and prejudice #contemporary romance #romance novels
