Most info is lost in 20 minutes -- 1 hour when there is no attempt to retain it. Humans tend to halve their memory of newly learned knowledge in a matter of days or weeks unless they consciously review the learned material ie: studying lectures notes after lecture to review. If you practiced something more than what is usually necessary to memorize it. Ensures that information is more impervious to being lost or forgotten less likely for the info to be lost -- and thus info can be retrieved no matter then env - retrieval is not context specific.
