The Cone of Learning was created by Edgar Dale in the 1960's. He theorized that learners retain more information when interacting than when simply observing.
The Cone is comprised of six sections, moving from top down in level of effectiveness. The first six sections are Passive methods, in that they don't require much interactivity. The final two are Active methods, requiring participation.
The Cone charts theoretical memory retention - there is scant information as to the truth to the actual numbers, but the concept may be valid: that the more you participate in an activity, the more likely you are to retain the learning involved.
