What is the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve? Do memories fade rapidly over the course of a day?

Memories of motor movements, like other memories, tend to fade over time. This follows a pattern similar to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, where memories are quickly forgotten immediately after learning, and then the rate of forgetting gradually slows down. However, by reviewing at the right time or combining exercise with learning, it is possible to solidify the memory.
