Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast. Just want to look about
Speaker 2: this forgetting and learning curve theory. Patsy was just talking
Speaker 2: about this earlier from the Parents Teacher Evening yesterday shit
Speaker 2: on zoom.
Speaker 1: The forgetting and learning.
Speaker 2: Curve theory shows that we get better with practice, but
Speaker 2: quickly forget without review when we learn something new. Performance
Speaker 2: improves with practice without practice, what we learn fades over time,
Speaker 2: memory drops quickly soon after learning, then levels out. There
Speaker 2: is a plateauing. It's amazing now what you can still
Speaker 2: remember all these years later and you've done no reviewing
Speaker 2: or revising in decades like I can still remember I
Speaker 2: am fifty two. So this has gone back to the
Speaker 2: eighties when I was doing geography. Oxbo lake is called
Speaker 2: a billabong in Australia.
Speaker 1: It's a horseshoe bend in a river. What what is it?
Speaker 1: We call them oxpos? But here in Australia it's.
Speaker 4: A bill boh Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: If something campus will flow river and it gets like
Speaker 2: a little horseshoe or or a U curve, And yeah,
Speaker 2: this country calls them a billabong. Right now, I remember
Speaker 2: that from the eighties. I have not reviewed that quite
Speaker 2: a few years.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: What can you still remember right now from school? The
Speaker 2: first one that Polcy is not as long ago as
Speaker 2: it was like for me and Patsy for you.
Speaker 5: Yes, but I'm still shocked at how little I remember
Speaker 5: from school.
Speaker 1: So what's stood in the now?
Speaker 4: I before E except after C is the first.
Speaker 1: One that in my mind? What language is that? That's
Speaker 1: for bridge?
Speaker 5: That spelling, Like when you're spilling a word, it's always
Speaker 5: eye before unless there's a scene in front of it.
Speaker 4: Except there are some exceptions, like that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the English language is full of exceptions, isn't it.
Speaker 4: This is the rule except for all the other y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's like the AFL rule book. Yes, this
Speaker 2: is what it was, the rule, and then we're thinking
Speaker 2: about changing it. And it's what can you still remember
Speaker 2: from school? What is still in there now? Probably the
Speaker 2: times tables, hopeless times tables.
Speaker 1: I think the twelve times table is the easiest, wasn't it?
Speaker 4: Twelve and elevens are the easiest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're about tens and tens.
Speaker 4: And eleven yause elevens are just like twenty two.
Speaker 1: Which one did you struggle with? I struggle with the
Speaker 1: sevens and eight.
Speaker 4: I reckon. I'm still very good at them.
Speaker 5: I had an eight times eight sixty eight, sixty four
Speaker 5: six seven forty two.
Speaker 1: Oh no, really, yeah, Patsy, what do you still remember?
Speaker 6: I remember Mount jung Frau and our geography teacher going
Speaker 6: on about it.

Speaker 6: been made that. No, no, no, it's not Chapan. Is
Speaker 6: it Himalayas or somewhere. I'm going to have a look
Speaker 6: a look.
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember what is latitude?
Speaker 2: In?
Speaker 4: Which is longitude? Definitely forgotten that one?
