Answer:

Within the first hour after learning new material

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, the brain's ability to retain knowledge or information recently learned, reduces over time.

It may take hours, days, weeks or months to forget information.

He states that we forget the most information within the first hour of learning it.

To avoid forgetting, recently learned information should be reviewed and revisited over time.
