As the chart diagram shows below, without revision, we forget 82% within 24 hours.
We remember better at about 10 minutes after the learning finishes. The reason for this strange memory phenomenon is simple: at the moment learning period finishes, the brain has not had enough time to organize and store the last items. It needs a few minutes to store, organize, integrate the last items.
Please note that the memory decreases sharply after initial learning. We remember only 18% after 24 hours.
We forget 82% of all that we learn within 24 hours!!
This is a very important fact for you to remember.
So, you must revise in a systematic way to get the maximum benefit from your hard work.
