Chinese character cognitive cards: Factors affecting Chinese characters using forgetting curves
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Based on learning strategies, many children require increased accuracy in writing Chinese characters. To address this issue, Chinese character cognitive cards were introduced by the researchers, utilizing the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve (FC) to identify and analyze the factors influencing the retention of Chinese character memory. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 556 children aged 10 to 12 in China. In this study, the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the stimulus organ-response model (SOR) were used to study the factors affecting the intention and behavior of using Chinese character cognitive cards based on the function of the FC. The research also aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of card usage and memory retention. Preliminary analysis indicated that repeated exposure to the cognitive cards significantly reduces the rate of forgetting. Additionally, the study examined the impact of the cognitive cards on different proficiency levels in Chinese character writing. The results show that the function of the FC in the Chinese character cognitive cards can make learners perceive the ease of use and usefulness of the Chinese character cognitive cards. The use of the FC positively influences Chinese character memory ability, and the influence is strong.
