  People do NOT remember 10% of what they read, 20% of what they see, 30% of what they hear, etc. That information, and similar pronouncements are fraudulent. Moreover, general statements on the effectiveness of learning methods are not credible---learning results depend on too many variables to enable such precision. Unfortunately, this bogus information has been floating around our field for decades, crafted by many different authors and presented in many different configurations, including bastardizations of Dale's Cone.

  The bogus percentages were first published by an employee of Mobil Oil Company in 1967, writing in the magazine Film and Audio-Visual Communications. D. G. Treichler didn’t cite any research, but our field has unfortunately accepted his/her percentages

  Will Thalheimer tracks down some "research" that has been cited unquestioningly by many learning professionals but isn't really what it seems to be. It's based on Dale's Cone of Experience, but the numbers aren't part of Dale's original graphic and don't seem to be based on any actual evidence. This reminds me of the creeping fox terrier clone; it's why information literacy is so important.
