Rapid decline to approximately 58% retention. This is due to the decay of sensory and short-term memory where the initial trace fades quickly unless actively reviewed.

Between 40-50% of information typically remains. This can be attributed to the start of the transition from short-term to long-term memory, but the consolidation process is not yet complete.

Retention can drop to approximately 33%. To counteract this decline, it's crucial to engage in review strategies, as memories are still vulnerable to forgetting at this stage without rehearsal.

Potential decline to 25% retention or lower. The forgetting curve starts to level off, but without practice, much of the learned information has been lost due to insufficient encoding and consolidation.

Retention can stabilize around 21%, assuming no active recall or reinforcement has occurred. By now, memory is reliant on the strength of the initial learning and the degree of semantic encoding.
