What's the name of the bias/fallacy/phenomenon where you learn something (new information, approach, calculation, way of thinking, ...) but after awhile revert to the old ideas/habits/views etc.?
Relapse? Backsliding? Recidivism? Unstickiness? Retrogression? Downdating?
Hmm, some of these are good terms, but the issue is so common, I assumed there would be a standard term for it, at least in the education circles.
