In what has become an eternal vigil against the myth that "People remember 10% of what they..." I just hit the jackpot with the help of Jay Banks who just sent me an email.

For those who are shocked that information on the internet might be wrong—or that Wikipedia might be wrong—see my previous entries about Wikipedia (1st Most-Recent).

I keep seeing papers and pages that quote a "Weiss-McGrath study published by McGraw Hill" showing similar statistics, but I can't seem to find the actual study, report or citation anywhere. Any idea if this is legit?

Yeah, but many contend that Edgar Dale's cone is bogus.

I've seen several people cite John Medina's "brain rules" recently. Check out slides 2 & 3 for sensory integration, where he cites Dale but has numbers for his bar chart.

Hi Will
I have quoted you extensively in a piece for TrainingZone: http://www.trainingzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=185067
So far, the response to the idea of myth-busting has been very positive.
Thank you for your work in this area.

It is worth reporting (since this newsletter has a reasonably wide readership) once again that the famous 'cone of experience' is a hoax. I've seen it debunked in several places, and on several mailing lists, over the years.
