Scenario 6.3 is based on and presents data consistent with the following study:   Ebbinghaus, H. (1885/1913). Memory: A contribution to experimental psychology (Trans. H. A. Ruger & C. E. Bussenius). New York: Teachers College. In a classic study on forgetting, Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885/1913) memorized a list of nonsense syllables; for example, three consonants that did not form a word (e.g., HYZ). After memorizing a list until he could recall it perfectly twice, Ebbinghaus put the list away for a period of time, which he termed the retention interval. When the interval elapsed, Ebbinghaus attempted to recall as many nonsense syllables from the list as he could, then recorded his percent accuracy (what he termed a savings score). Using this procedure, Ebbinghaus (1885/1913) memorized many lists and recorded his accuracy after a number of different retention intervals. The major results of this experiment are shown here.     Hermann Ebbinghaus’s results illustrate which “sin” of memory?
