How much do learners actually remember from training? More importantly, why do they forget so much? This session takes you on a fast-paced, practical tour of how human memory works and what that means for instruction. You’ll explore the key systems of memory—working, short-term, and long-term—and experience firsthand why some information sticks while other details fade almost instantly.
Through interactive demonstrations, you’ll see how forgetting happens, why cramming fails, and what truly strengthens recall. More than just theory, this session connects memory science to real-world training challenges, giving you insights into why learners struggle to retain information and how to design training that makes learning stick. Whether you build courses, facilitate workshops, or coach employees, this session will transform how you think about memory—and help you create learning experiences that actually last.
