Adult Learning & The Forgetting Curve
Have you experienced meeting a bunch of people, and an hour later, you couldn't recall their names?
Don't fret because it's normal. It is part of being human to forget, a peculiarity as to how the human brain works. When you tend to forget things, you're likely experiencing the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.
As it develops, this forgetting curve is challenging to resolve, particularly when it comes to recalling the pieces of knowledge offered in corporate training programs. Not all educational tools have been expressly developed to counter such impact.
Recognize the forgetting curve and what affects it, and not only can you produce more reliable training content, but you can also learn a vital method to support your staff to keep up with their training.
Join us at Get Your New View for another episode of valuable insights, tips, and strategies to champion your training and process improvement.
Key areas covered in this episode:
- Take to heart that, within the first 20 minutes, adult learners only retain about 50% of what they've learned. This is a significant challenge with adults trying to learn new things, but there are ways to combat this and retain that information.
- Factor in that, adult learners are incredibly challenged; they're very distracted, they've got a lot going on, and are simply out of practice. So what should you do about it? Tune in to the episode to learn more.
- Repetition is key to retention. Every time we say something more than once, we increase the chances of that particular piece of information is retained.
- A tip that might help: Exercise what you've learned as quickly after the training and make this a habit each time you learn something new.
- Keep in mind that the whole point of training is to bring lasting benefits back to the company. And, it is almost impossible for people to learn from a whole bunch of videos. Instead, make your learning something that you can use on day one.
