2011 Reprint of 1913 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Hermann
Ebbinghaus (1850-1909) was a German psychologist who pioneered the
experimental study of memory, and is known for his discovery of the
forgetting curve and the spacing effect. He was also the first
person to describe the learning curve. In 1885, he published his
groundbreaking Uber das Gedachtnis ("On Memory," later translated
to English as "Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology")
in which he described experiments he conducted on himself to
describe the processes of learning and forgetting. Ebbinghaus made
several findings that are still relevant and supported to this day.
First, arguably his most famous finding, the forgetting curve. The
forgetting curve describes the exponential curve that illustrates
how fast we tend to forget the information we had learned. The
sharpest decline is in the first twenty minutes, then in the first
hour, and then the curve evens off after about one day.
