Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ebbinghaus found that he could recite 6-8 random syllables correctly after only one reading, but not more than 8. So he studied how many repetitive readings it takes for a subject to memorize more syllables. He found that it takes 16.6 repetitions to memorize 12 syllables, 30.0 for 16, 44.0 for 24, 55.0 for 36 syllables. This is plotted in the graph. The x-axis is number of syllables and the y-axis is the number of required repetitive readings for memorizing.
