Abstract It is widely acknowledged that the Forgetting Curve was discovered by German psychologist Ebbinghaus, which vividly described the forgetting rules that humans’ brains had to new things。 

According to the vivid description of the curve, humans are able to master the forgetting rules and make full use of them to help consolidate their old knowledge。 Therefore their memory ability can be improved。 English learning is extremely complex and rich in contents, which requires a good memory。 As a consequence, to learn English well, 

Students must develop strong memory ability。 It concerns many teachers as to how to make use of the Forgetting Curve to help students, especially primary school students to memorize and master English more efficiently and accurately。 This thesis, based on the Forgetting Curve, attempts to analyze the memorizing and forgetting process of primary school students from psychological perspective。 It is proved that the application of the forgetting rules in primary English teaching and learning is helpful for students to improve the quality and efficiency of English learning。   74463

摘要遗忘曲线由德国心理学家艾宾浩斯研究发现，描述了人类大脑对新事物遗忘的规律。通过人体大脑对新事物遗忘的直观描述，人们从遗忘曲线中掌握遗忘规律并加以利用，从而提升自我记忆能力。英语教学内容繁多复杂，对学生的记忆能力要求较高。如何帮助学生,特别是小学生更有效、更准确记住所学英语内容，这是所有老师关心的一个问题。本课题拟采用心理学方法，基于对艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线规律的分析，对小学生的记忆与遗忘过程进行探索，从而达到改善英语教学质量，提升英语学习效果的目的。

As is known to all, Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve vividly described the forgetting rules humans’ brains had to new things (Richard 2012: 12)。 After learning, some people may forget what they have just recited immediately。 Meanwhile the forgetting process isn’t equilibrium。 At the beginningt, people will forget much and fast, but later they will forget slowly and less。 After quite a long time, people will forget little。 If students can memorize and review according to the forgetting rules, they can master the knowledge, getting twice the result with half the effort。 Therefore, the thesis tries to have an exploration on the application of Forgetting Curve in primary English teaching and learning。
