Abstract
The lack of retention of subject matter is an indisputable phenomenon which must be recognized in any program of education which is to be not merely consistent within itself and “logically” sound but also applicable in the world in which we live. The assumption that the students had at one time actually mastered the prerequisite topics and have retained their skills may lead to a well knit system of education on paper, but the failure of this assumption in practice may well be a chief factor contributing to some of our educational ills, especially those of student-failure and its consequent problems.
