Memory loss over time follows a mathematical decay function
Scientific literature and historical models, such as Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, consistently demonstrate that memory retention decays over time following mathematical functions like exponential decline.
The retrieved papers uniformly support the claim that memory loss over time follows a mathematical decay function, citing Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve and its modern mathematical and computational extensions.
