How soon does a word we experienced once start underoing decay before its representation in memory can be reinforced by another experience of it?
I'm curious about something. How soon does a word we experienced once start undergoing decay before its representation in memory can be reinforced by another experience of it?
That's an interesting question. According to studies, the rate of forgetting starts to kick in shortly after learning takes place. But the degree and speed of forgetting can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as the strength of the initial memory trace, the context in which the word was learned, the amount of time that passes before the next encounter with the word, and so on.
