Über das Gedächtnis: Untersuchungen zur experimentellen Psychologie
Book • 1885
Hermann Ebbinghaus's "Über das Gedächtnis" (Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology) is a seminal work in the field of memory research.
Published in 1885, it detailed Ebbinghaus's experiments using nonsense syllables to study the processes of learning and forgetting.
His findings, including the description of the forgetting curve, demonstrated the importance of repetition and spaced repetition for effective memory retention.
The book established the empirical study of memory as a scientific discipline and continues to influence memory techniques and learning strategies today.
Ebbinghaus's work laid the groundwork for understanding how memory works and how to improve it.
