6. Short but Frequent Virtual Touchpoints Enhance Long-Term Memorization Research has shown that shorter, more frequent virtual interactions are far superior to lengthy, one-off meetings for improving knowledge retention and work performance. This approach leverages the “Recency Effect,” where individuals remember recently presented information more vividly. Without frequent review, memory recall diminishes significantly over time—a problem mitigated by regular virtual touchpoints that reintroduce information, allowing it to transition from short-term to long-term memory effectively. By integrating these frequent, micro-learning sessions, participants not only avoid mental fatigue but also retain a greater portion of the information, making these sessions crucial for continuous professional development.
