Learning Retention Rate Calculator

Learning Retention Rate Calculator computes the retention rate of learned material based on the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.

Enter Parameters

Enter time since learning (e.g., 1 day)
Strength of memory, typically 0.5 to 2 (e.g., 1)

How to Use Learning Retention Rate Calculator:

  1. Enter the time elapsed since learning in hours, days, or weeks.
  2. Enter the memory strength (S), a positive value typically between 0.5 and 2.
  3. Click “Calculate” to compute the retention rate with steps.
  4. Use “Copy Result” to copy the retention rate to the clipboard (requires HTTPS).

Important Notes:

  • Time elapsed must be non-negative.
  • Memory strength (S) must be positive, typically 0.5 (weak) to 2 (strong).
  • Formula: Retention Rate \( R = e^{-t/S} \), where \( t \) is time elapsed and \( S \) is memory strength.
  • Retention rate is a percentage between 0% and 100%.
  • Clipboard access requires HTTPS. If copying fails, copy manually.

Learning Retention Examples:

  1. Short-Term Retention:
    Time Elapsed=1 day, Memory Strength=1
    Retention Rate: \( R = e^{-1/1} \approx 36.79\% \)
  2. Strong Memory:
    Time Elapsed=24 hours, Memory Strength=2
    Retention Rate: \( R = e^{-24/2} \approx 61.31\% \)
  3. Long-Term Retention:
    Time Elapsed=1 week, Memory Strength=0.5
    Retention Rate: \( R = e^{-7/0.5} \approx 8.32\% \)
