This reminds me of golf joke. " two senior citizens are playing golf . One can't see very good and the other cant remember . The one who can't see tees off and asked the other ' did you see where my ball went ' and he said ' yes I did ' so the other guy asked ' where did it go? ' and the reply was ' I can't remember' ."

"I didn't hear. What did you say?"
Fortunately, since most folks habitually repeat themselves, (like we have been trained) retention is a bit higher when the time limit does not exceed 71.4 nanoseconds.

The retention percentage goes down daily over time, leaving it to a miniscule percentage over time.

I remember a good deal of what I listen to, but they claim that I listen to a lot less than what is said.

Dorie,
I remember what is worth remembering. When it comes to blah, blah, I hear nothing. A

Oh boy I was hoping it was higher than that. I feel like I remember more.

I think it's accurate for me anyway. Even my 8 year old will say after she tells me something, "you aren't going to remember this anyway"!

That doesn't surprise me. What I'd like to figure out is how to remember the stuff that's important and let the rest go!

It might be even less. If we do not use that information, it is berried quickly.

Sounds about right. Unless it's a song, then it won't get out of my head!
When I teach, I use auditory, visual and manual manipulations to help people learn. All three you get about 80-90% retention.

People hear what they want to hear and filter out things or details not interested....

Even though your ears are capable of picking up on so many words (around 450 words a minute) your brain doesn't process all of them.
