The Necessity of Spaced Repetition
to Create New Behaviors
To increase an employee’s wellness will require the establishment of more
healthy behaviors to replace old behaviors that have reduced wellness. As can be
seen from the “Learning and Behavior Change Curve” chart below (click
here for larger image), information
retention after single presentation (the solid line
Behavlrn.jpgcurve) declines rapidly
after just a few weeks. Without the retention of information there is neither
reason nor motivation to change behavior.
The dashed line curve on the chart shows how information retention increases
with spaced repetition of information at one-week intervals over a period of
nine weeks. It is this increasing retention that sustains the motivation and
reason for behavior change (the dotted line curve).
In the Wellness Program, the 10 sessions spaced one week apart create the
necessary reinforcement of the information necessary to get significant creation
of healthier behaviors regarding sleep, exercise and nutrition. The individual
coaching sessions continue that reinforcement and strengthen the new behaviors,
while minimizing the reversion to the old, less healthy behaviors.
