Bad Forgetting Curves: Interactive Model Comparison

Adjust parameters to see how different models behave. Look for realistic vs. suspect shapes!

Modified Power Law

R(t) = R₀ × (1 + t/τ)^(-β) + R∞

👁️ What to Look For:

  • Realistic: Rapid initial decline that gradually slows down
  • Suspect: Curves that go up, have inflection points, or drop too steeply late
  • Power Law: Should show characteristic "fat tail" - slow asymptotic approach
  • Weibull: Very flexible shape, but k<1 gives the slowing behavior you want
  • Superposition: Can show multi-phase forgetting (fast + slow components)
