Excerpt from The Curve of Forgetting, Vol. 20

Besides being the first experimental research in this group of phenomena, this was the first very extended laboratory investigation} of the mental processes that are not closely paralleled by definite. Commensurate, physical stimuli. In addition to this, all who have.l carried on experimental investigations in memory, and most espe-j cially in forgetting, will agree that the task as it was performed b} Ebbinghaus required closeness of application and patient persistence? That was nothing less than heroic. However, the fact that his work has more than one claim to a place among pioneer achievements is sufficient excuse for several imperfections in his methods.
