About This MicroSim¶
This interactive infographic shows a 2D plot with Retrieval Strength on the x-axis and Storage Strength on the y-axis, creating four quadrants: Unlearned (low/low), Fleeting (high RS/low SS), Durable but Dormant (low RS/high SS), and Well-Learned (high/high).
Modes:
- Explore -- hover over pre-placed dots (phone number, childhood address, multiplication facts, etc.) to see their RS/SS rationale and the recommended instructional move
- Quiz -- read a scenario and click the matching quadrant to classify it
Learning Objective (Analyze): Given a description of a learner's relationship to a piece of material, classify its retrieval and storage strengths and propose the appropriate next instructional move.
