Tool · GMP Memory Box (cards in French)

Make GMP knowledge fun and lasting

The GMP Memory Box relies on quick (3-minute) daily repetition and associative memory to embed GMP for the long term among operators.

Annual GMP training does more harm than good

A soporific PowerPoint, reviewed every year without change, with a multiple-choice quiz at the end… Operators leave with the impression that Quality is tedious and compulsory. Exactly the opposite of what we want.

The problem with traditional training: the forgetting curve

Hermann Ebbinghaus showed that one day after a training session, learners have already forgotten a large part of the information, and that most of it is lost after two weeks.

30 %of information forgotten after 1 day
80 %forgotten after 14 days
The forgetting curve: 30% of information forgotten after 1 day, 80% after 14 days
The Ebbinghaus curve: spaced reminders maintain memory

To embed knowledge for the long term, he advocated repetition: close together at first, then more and more spaced out. That’s how you fight the forgetting curve.

But repeating the GMP PowerPoint that often is impossible. The GMP Memory Box offers a fun, quick approach to achieve this result.

What is a memory card?

A memory card is a simplified card, with a piece of information on one side and its meaning on the other.

Sample memory card: the question on the front, the answer on the back

What happens during learning?

  1. Encoding: the information is perceived by our senses, understood and analysed by our brain.
  2. Storage: the brain stores the information in a suitable area of memory, starting with short-term memory.
  3. Consolidation: the information moves into long-term memory. If it isn’t used regularly, it is deleted, sometimes leaving the trace of “something we once knew but no longer do”.
  4. Retrieval: we fetch the information every time we need it.

When we can no longer retrieve a piece of information and only a trace remains, something went wrong at storage or consolidation. Memory cards make these two steps easier through two mechanisms:

Regular repetitionto activate consolidation.
Associative memoryinformation presented both ways, front and back, creates shorter, more effective retrieval paths. No more “it’s on the tip of my tongue”.

Frequently asked questions

What does the GMP Memory Box contain?

114 GMP memory cards and 30 blank memory cards to create your own cards, adapted to the specifics of your site.

How much time does it take?

About 3 minutes a day. It’s the regularity of repetition, not the duration, that embeds knowledge in long-term memory.

Does the Memory Box replace GMP training?

It complements it. It extends training into everyday work so that knowledge doesn’t fade in the days that follow.
