@Doug, when I first posted these graphics it was an attempt to summarize what I've observed with respect to what I've seen in many other people's interest in human learning, and what they believe about Dale's theories in regards to audiovisual learning media and adult learning in general. A few comments above yours I've referenced a blog post elsewhere that more accurately portrays what Dale was theorizing. If I were to approach this from a purely scientific standpoint, I agree that a formal study would need to be done to substantiate the numbers that frequently appear on many other charts or graphs that appear on the web via a google search.

Hi,

These are great graphics, however I don’t think the data are real. The numbers that are commonly attributed to the percentage of what people remember appear to be fabricated (from many years ago) and unsubstantiated by any published studies. Here is some information on this topic:

If you have any references that substantiate these data I would love to know of them since I would really like to use these graphics and this concept if it is valid.

Thanks

I am a doctoral student and cite the first diagram in my dissertation. Could you please give me a permission letter or email for using it? Or could you please give me your contacts so we can discuss how to get your permission?

Thanks!

Since creating this post way back in the day, I’ve been doing follow up research to make this information more accurate. This person’s blog entry sums up what I’ve been trying to do to clarify what was truly intended by Edgar Dale who came up with the concept in the first place.

Hello! Im a teacher trainer in China and find your diagrams very useful for convincing teachers to make their lessons more active for their students. I have a few questions if you can help me. How did you get the data for the percentages? What kinds of activities did you have people do–esp. for the reading? I just want to be able to have support if teachers ask questions.

Thank you!!
