Solution

The best description of Ebbinghaus's work on forgetting is option C: "You'll forget most of it right away, and you'll keep on forgetting more of it, though at a slower rate." This is known as the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, which suggests that memory retention decreases quickly over time, but the rate of decrease slows down.

What is the general time course of forgetting, first observed by Ebbinghaus?Group of answer choicesa. Savings score decreases as the time since initial learning increases. Savings first drops rapidly, but then levels of.b. Savings score decreases as the time since initial learning decreases. Savings first drops rapidly , but then levels of.c. Savings score remains fixed, unaffected by the passage of time.d. Savings score depends upon the number of items in the lists of nonsense syllables. As the number of items increases, so does the rate of forgetting.

Which theory of forgetting is correctly matched with its description? Decay-Information is lost over time as a result of non-use. Interference- Forgetting occurs when there are too few "triggers" to recall the information.  Cue-dependent- Forgetting occurs because other information in memory disrupts the retrieval of the information we are trying to remember.  Retroactive interference- Information learned earlier disrupts the recall of newer material.
