What is the learning curve theory ?
In: Other
As you do something, the more times you do it, the easier it is to do.
The first time you learn something in school, you don’t really understand it. You look over it a second time and actually take in a little information. The third time, you use what you learned the first few times and now it’s even easier to learn more. Time 4 is even easier, etc etc, until you’re finally fully understand the material
The idea is that not everything can be learned at the same rate. The “learning curve” refers to a literal graph, so we will do this more like an ELI13.
Imagine if you have “time” on the X axis and “ability” on the Y axis. Something easy to learn, like making toast, would have a steep curve. You would get to nearly 100% ability in less than an hour. Something difficult, like mastering French pastry, might take years before you get to 25%. That would be a “shallow” learning curve as the literal slope would go up very slowly.
All in all, it’s just a way to visually represent how long it takes to get to different skill levels for different things.
