How much percentage of information is retained by listening?
Studies have shown that immediately after listening to a 10-minute oral presentation, the average listener has heard, understood and retained 50 percent of what was said. Within 48 hours, that drops off another 50 percent to a final level of 25 percent efficiency.
How much of what you read Do You Remember?
Fortunately, wisdom has come down through the ages, from Aristotle to Pliny the Elder to Sophocles to Confucius, and so on. What’s the percentage of information do we retain? This wisdom can be best summarized as that people remember: 10 percent of what they READ.
How much does the average person remember from listening?
Our own testing shows—and it has been substantiated by reports of research at Florida State University and Michigan State University1—that two months after listening to a talk, the average listener will remember only about 25% of what was said.
How much do we forget in our lives?
People forget 50-80% of what they’ve learned after one day and 97-98% after a month.
How much do we actually hear?
The human hearing range is around 20 to 20,000 Hz, and as we get older, our ability to hear high-pitched sounds begins to decrease. Age, and other factors like exposure to noise, can have a big impact on the frequencies we hear. If you’re curious about the range of your hearing, we’ve got just the thing.
Is it better to hear or to see?
Vision is an important sense for all who have it, but this doesn’t mean hearing is less valuable. Science has proven that people can “see” without vision via audio cues, so while humans might lean on their eyes to sense the world around them, always remember that hearing is just as important.
How much do people forget in one hour?
How much do people forget? Research on the forgetting curve (Figure 1) shows that within one hour , people will have forgotten an average of 50 percent of the information you presented. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it.
How often do people forget what they have learned?
People in the reviewed experiments forgot from 0% to 94% of what they had learned. The bottom line is that forgetting varies widely. Even within a restricted time range, learners forgot at wildly differing rates.
How much of what you read do you Remember?
People remember: 10% of what they read. 20% of what they only hear. 30% of what they only see. 50% of what they see and hear. 70% of what they say and write down. 90% of what they DO But, there is an exception. There are a few sermons I can remember years later.
What happens when people don’t remember what you told them?
We only remember about 10% of what we hear yet we keep telling people what to do only to get disappointed when they don’t listen. A leaders job isn’t to tell people what to do, it’s to get people to the point of understanding. Yet when I ask leaders why something wasn’t done, they’re often quick to say “I told them, but they didn’t listen.”
