Studies have shown that how
information is presented determines the retention level of the information. The Cone of
Learning Theory, explains the likelihood of retaining information, based
on the method of delivery.When simply spoken to in a presentation we retain
30% of what is said. If this information is also presented in a visual format, our
retention level of this information increases to 50%. When we also actively receive
and participate in the presentation, retention increases to 70%.
Finally, retention is maximized to 90% when we practice what we've learned. Source: Dale
