True or False this is a question in my speech class?

According to one study, we remember 10 percent of what we read, 2 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, and 50 percent of what we speak.True or False this is a question in my speech class?
If your speech teacher uses the same material as mine did 30 years ago, then I would have to say, ';True: this is a question in your speech class.';





Now as to the question you really want to ask: Is the statement true? Yes, there was study that published these results. You'll have to find it on your own





Are the study's results an accurate reflection of reality? Maybe, if one is interested in averages; you would have to look at how the study was designed and examine it for any biases and data quality.





Is it true for any given individual? Probably not. Most people have visual styles as either their primary or secondary means of learning, but not all. Some are more aural, some more kinestetic.





The 10% of what we read and 30% of what we see are contradictory, since we have to see what we read unless we read Braile, one of those statements is in error or there is a piece missing. (Symbol decoding.)





The point of the statement is that when we formulate output (speech) it requires us to understand what we are saying, and we are therefore more likely to retain the information. The statement doesn't address retention rates for things we write, draw pictures of, or sing.True or False this is a question in my speech class?
Unless we have access to the study you mention this question cannot be answered either way.
I'd have to say false. It doesn't sound accurate to me.
Yes, I agree with Alder
