In the psychological context of 'Memory' and 'Forgetting', according to the 'Forgetting Curve' propounded by the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, what is the rate of forgetting immediately after learning, and what type of pattern does this curve illustrate?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
Hermann Ebbinghaus demonstrated through his Forgetting Curve that the majority of learned material (more than 50%) is forgotten very rapidly within the first few hours (especially within 24 hours) immediately following acquisition.
- Initial Rapid Drop: The steepest decline in retention happens right after learning.
- Subsequent Slowing: After the initial steep drop, the rate of forgetting slows down significantly over time.
- Negative Acceleration: This demonstrates a negative acceleration pattern where retention drops sharply at first and then levels off.
Therefore, Option B is the correct statement regarding the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.

With reference to the Structure of Intellect (SOI) theory of intelligence, consider the following statements: 1. The three-dimensional model of the Structure of Intellect was propounded by J.P. Guilford, who classified mental abilities into three independent dimensions: Contents, Operations, and Products. 2. According to Guilford's initial model, intelligence consisted of a total of 4×5×6 = 120 independent intellectual factors, which was later revised and expanded to a total of 150 and ultimately 180 factors. 3. Under this theory, the 'Contents' dimension includes mental materials such as symbolic, semantic, behavioral, and figural, upon which the operations of the mind act. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
