The Dendrite Learning Advantage - Memory & Retention
Strengthening Long-Term Memory
Why Training is Quickly Forgotten
Most training is one-and-done, meaning employees rapidly forget unreinforced information. Research shows:
70% of new knowledge is forgotten within 24 hours without reinforcement.
The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve shows that without retrieval practice, memory declines exponentially.
fMRI studies reveal that retrieval practice strengthens neural pathways, making recall easier.
The Science of Memory & Retention
Retrieval practice forces the brain to actively recall information, strengthening long-term memory retention. Spaced repetition reinforces knowledge over time, preventing forgetting.

How Dendrite Learning Embeds Knowledge with Memory & Retention
Frequent retrieval exercises – Ensures employees recall key concepts multiple times.
Spaced learning intervals – Revisits training content at tailored intervals.
Real-world application – Encourages employees to use what they learn in practical situations.
Adaptive reinforcement – Identify areas of weakness and adjust training accordingly.
