LEARNING CURVE

Specialty Definition: LEARNING CURVE

DomainDefinition

Computing

Learning curve (From psychology) A graph of some measure of something learned against time or number of trials. Marketroids often misuse it to mean the amount of time it takes to learn to use something ("reduce the learning curve") or the ease of learning it ("easy learning curve"). Even more incorrectly, the phrase "steep learning curve" is used to mean "hard to learn" whereas of course a steep curve would indicate rapid learning. (2002-01-22).
