Learning retention rates appear to be a hoax

Yesterday I posted a pyramid diagram purporting to be the learning retention rates for a range of information presentation approaches. Harold Jarche rightly ask the simple question: Any idea if this is based on sound science? I started to look and found a range of anomalies and then discovered this article describing the illustration and associated percentages as a hoax that’s been perpetuated since the ‘60s.
I apologise for passing this information on. I need to be more skeptical of the information I discover.
