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.
