The impact of spaced learning
Here are a few interesting facts about spaced and on-the-job learning:
- Repetition supports learning
- Spaced repetition is more effective than non-spaced repetition
- Spaced repetition drives adoption
- Spacing helps minimize forgetting
- Wider spacing is generally more effective than narrower spacing
- Real learning doesn’t usually occur in one-time events
We forget 85% of what we learn in classroom training within 2 weeks.
The solution to help overcome the forgetting curve, is to combine spaced learning with on-the-job learning and coaching.
