Learning – What We Know


 * The human adult attention span is 10-15 minutes
 * Optimal learning is at 20 minutes into a long lecture
 * People remember 80-100% of what they apply, especially if used immediately
 * Retention is greatly increased by involvement of more senses: audible, visual, touch, writing
 * Taking notes (even if never re-read) increases retention by 40%
