Examining the Relationship Between Fact Learning and Higher Order Learning via Retrieval Practice
… unknown. This project examines whether retrieval practice via quizzing, a strategy typically used to enhance fact learning, can be used as a strategy to improve higher order skills in both laboratory and applied settings. In the current study, higher order skills were considered to …

Retrieval practice as a way to enhance learning and transfer in a high school biology classroom
… The goal of this study was to investigate retrieval practice in the form of quizzing as a way to improve teaching and learning in a high school biology classroom. A pre-test was given to all of the student participants prior to instruction in the targeted unit. Two retrieval quizzes were …

Can Retrieval Practice of The Testing Effect Increase Self-efficacy in Tests and Reduce Test Anxiety in 10-to 11-Year-Olds?
… literature about the testing effect (repeated retrieval practice) focusses on retrieval practice of academic, subject content. Test anxiety can occur in many individuals and from age seven upwards and students who are high in test anxiety account for 10-20% of a school population. The …

Enhancing memory and self-regulated learning with scaffolded retrieval
… tend to make poor decisions when self-regulating retrieval practice. The experiments reported in this dissertation evaluate scaffolded retrieval techniques that were designed to enhance learning under very difficult learning conditions, and, consequently, expected to foster more judicious decision …

Examining the mechanism and influential extent of retrieval-induced forgetting
… assumptions of the pattern suppression model of retrieval-induced forgetting were examined, with a view to apply results toward making effective use of reminders. These assumptions included: (1) that retrieval-induced forgetting is retrieval specific, (2) that it results from retrieval …

The Retrieval Processes That Underlie Remembering and Knowing in Recognition Memory
… subjective experience that accompanies memory retrieval. Theorists commonly assume that the experiential states of Remembering and Knowing measured by this procedure are direct manifestations of two underlying retrieval processes, recollection and familiarity. This assumption was put to …

Optimizing practice through self-testing
Memory benefits from retrieval. This fact has motivated an entire literature on the testing effect, which demonstrates that retrieval practice benefits memory more than additional restudy opportunities. The overall robustness of this effect masks a surprising variability in just how advantageous …
-
A role for reconsolidation in the testing effect
… reconsolidation hypothesis assumes the act of retrieval renders the original memory for the retrieved event more malleable than a re-study opportunity. We expand on this hypothesis, proposing that this malleability results in a “generalized” contextual trace that includes elements of the …

Designing Mnemonics Serious Games to Promote Knowledge Retention in Memory-Intensive Courses
… using technological tools to promote retrieval practice and long-term learning. Hence, a mnemonics game, based on the RADAR framework proposed by Oyibo, was implemented to foster knowledge retention. Fifty-two students, comprising an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = …

Inhibition in long-term memory
… inhibitory mechanism was investigated within the retrieval practice paradigm, in which inhibition is recruited against information that competes for memory access during retrieval, and within the list-method directed forgetting paradigm, in which inhibition is voluntarily recruited.Experiments …

Test Expectancy and Transfer of Knowledge with Open-Book and Closed-Book Tests
… to open-book vs. closed-book format. Initial retrieval practice during these two types of tests did not yield differences in long-term retention: consistent with Experiment 1), but final test expectancy significantly influenced delayed retention. Closed-book test expectancy produced greater …

Psychometrics and test-enhanced learning in a patient-centered learning curriculum

The Effects of Response Modality on Retrieval
The testing effect refers to the finding that retrieval practice can lead to enhanced recall on future tests. Despite being a widely researched phenomenon, the underlying mechanisms of the testing effect remain unknown, and basic issues are unresolved. The purpose of these experiments was to …

Learning to Forget: An Interference Account of Cue-Independent Forgetting
… and produced original cue forgetting following retrieval practice with independent cues, which provided a clear manipulation of recovery strength. Lastly, a mathematical model (SAM-RI) of neo-classic interference theory was specified that captures data from Experiment 1, Experiment 3, and is …

An investigation of the development and evaluation of online approaches for improved kinaesthetic learning in science
… 2001; Bui et al., 2012; Chi & Wylie, 2014) and retrieval-practice (O'Day & Karpicke, 2021). KL assembly involving both movement and recall was most effective overall for long-term learning retention, and for learning science material that is represented in a complex graphical and text format.

Aging and Event Segmentation
… reinforcing memory through a process similar to retrieval practice. The effectiveness of this intervention, paired with our findings that event boundary distinctiveness predicts memory performance in older adults, supports the hypothesis that the organization of continuous experiences during …

Adapting existing games for education using speech recognition
… nature leave little room for simultaneous practice of other skills. Incorporating spoken language technology could make it possible for users to learn as they play, keeping up with game speed through multimodal interaction. Two challenges exist in this research: first, it is unclear which …
