Answer:

the amount remembered depends on the time spent learning.

Explanation:

Hermann Ebbinghaus has studied the memory and discovered the spacing effect and the forgetting curve and was considered as the person to study memory. While conducting experiments on memory, he has used the nonsense syllables, for example, DIT, MUR, etc.

According to Ebbinghaus, he tends to forget the list of words being remembered less quickly in which he has spent more time memorizing and believed that best recall of the list being remembered is just after learning has completed.
