Paulsen effect
The Paulsen effect describes the phenomenon of the delayed absorption of knowledge and social developments in education systems . It is named after the German philosopher and educator Friedrich Paulsen . In the foreword to the first edition of the history of scholarly instruction in German schools and universities (1885) he stated:
"The lessons taught are consistent with the general development of culture, albeit at a certain distance,"

Wolfgang Sünkel advocated using the concept of the Paulsen effect instead of the widespread term "Paulsen's Law", since Paulsen did not formulate a law in the real sense.
