Ebbinghaus-Style Nonsense Syllables

A modern approximation of Ebbinghaus's list-learning method using consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) nonsense syllables.

What to do: Set a list length and study time, then click Start study. Memorise the syllables while they are on screen. When time runs out you will be prompted to type them back in the original order — then click Score recall.

Think about: How many syllables could you recall after one attempt? Click Retry same list and try again — does your score improve with practice? This mirrors Ebbinghaus's own method of relearning and his discovery of the forgetting curve.

Ready.
