A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDl,2 This report reviews and
interprets research on the nature and magnitude of the effects of
those factors which influence how well knowledge and skills
(K&S) are retained over relatively long periods of nonuse. Our
interest lies in the kinds of knowledge domains and skills that
military personnel must master to function effectively on their
jobs. The practical concern impelling this study is that K&S
degradation or loss (which we will refer to as "decay") can and
does occur, often and severely enough, to jeopardize military
preparedness. There are occasions in all the military services when
personnel who have just completed their training do not receive an
opportunity to practice or use their new capabilities for weeks or
months. In the case of reservists who may be called back to active
duty, the period of nonuse of relevant military job skills may be
counted in terms of years. B. OBJECTIVES The overall objective is
to critically analyze the relevant scientific literature which
relates the processes involved in learning to those of memory,
taking into account the characteristics of the learner and the
learning tasks. More specifically, we have focused on the following
sub-objectives: 1. Identify, describe and rank the influence and
the interactions of the important major variables that affect
long-term retention (LTR); 1 I am indebted to Dr. Jesse Orlansky,
Institute for Defense Analyses, for his encouragement and guidance
through all phases of this report.
