Hermann Ebbinghaus (1850-1909) pioneered the study of memory: A 2011 article in the Journal of Mathematical Psychology presents the mathematical model R(t) = a + b(1 + ct)^-β for the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, where R(t) is the fraction of memory retained t days after learning a task; a, b and c are experimentally determined constants between 0 and 1; β is a positive constant; and R(0) = 1. The constants depend on the type of task being learned: What is the rate of change of retention t days after a task is learned? Justify your answer.
