In the context of 'Memory and Forgetting', according to the 'Forgetting Curve' based on the 1885 experimental study by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, which of the following is considered the most effective strategy under modern cognitive psychology and educational research to prevent or minimize the rapid initial memory loss that occurs in the initial hours immediately following learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation
According to Hermann Ebbinghaus's 'Forgetting Curve', the maximum loss of newly learned information (approximately up to 70%) occurs within the first 24 hours immediately following the learning process.
- Distributed Practice: Spreading out study sessions over time helps reduce cognitive fatigue.
- Spaced Repetition: Reviewing material at scientifically calculated increasing intervals effectively combats the forgetting curve.
- Memory Consolidation: These strategies collectively aid in transferring information from short-term memory to long-term memory.
Therefore, option (b) is the most appropriate and scientifically valid strategy.

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?
