A role for reconsolidation in the testing effect
… than does an additional study opportunity. This testing effect is both powerful and well documented, yet there are only a few suggestions for why testing benefits memory. The three existing theoretical positions that have often been brought to bear on the testing effect are the desirable …

Organizational Processes Contribute to the Testing Effect in Free Recall
… it. More importantly, the memorial advantage of testing is not limited to select information that was tested earlier. Research has shown that testing can serve as a versatile learning tool by enhancing the long-term retention of non-tested information that is conceptually related to previously …

Understanding the Contribution of Meaningful Processing to the Testing Effect
The testing effect is an interesting phenomenon, with a wealth of support for its robustness. The basic idea is that attempting to learn something to retain over time is more fruitful when items are retrieved from memory or tested, than when items are restudied. This area of research has seen much …

Examining the flexibility, durability, and applicability of the testing effect in natural concept learning
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-04-06 without embargo terms

School bus idling and mobile diesel emissions testing: effect of fuel type and development of a mobile test cycle
… also presents the results of mobile school bus testing that has been performed to quantify the emission reduction capabilities of various alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, ultra low sulfur diesel, and a blend of the two, when used to fuel school buses that are representative of those …

Can Retrieval Practice of The Testing Effect Increase Self-efficacy in Tests and Reduce Test Anxiety in 10-to 11-Year-Olds?
Abstract The testing effect is a robust cognitive strategy for improving recall from memory. Most of the 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 …

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 …

Testing effects for self-generated versus experimenter-generated questions
Those familiar with the testing effect (i.e., the finding that practicing retrieval improves memory) frequently suggest that students test themselves while studying for their classes. However, it is unclear whether students benefit from testing if they are not provided with testing materials. Few …

Optimizing practice through self-testing
… 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 (or not) retrieval practice actually …

Does IEB make the grade? Alternative testing methods and educational outcomes: The case of the IEB in South Africa
… of study, as well as a decomposition of this effect into a teaching effect and a testing effect. This is done by exploiting within-school variation of examination boards. Given that studies investigating independent school impacts on university performance have predominantly been conducted …

Test Expectancy and Transfer of Knowledge with Open-Book and Closed-Book Tests
Two experiments examined the testing effect with open-book tests, in which students view notes and textbooks while taking the test, and closed-book tests, in which students take the test without viewing notes or textbooks. In the first experiment, subjects studied GRE passages and then took an …

Assessment of Multiple Third-Party Risk Models Incorporating Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis
… tests (TOST), null-hypothesis significance testing, effect size (Hedge's g), and post-hoc power analysis results; which show that QUADRA and AutoPRep produce statistically equivalent expected fatality rates when inputs are aligned, while GRASP exhibits non-equivalent behavior due to its …

Emergence of Stimulus Equivalence and Topography-Based Responding Following Lecture Instruction
… generalization that occurred was likely due to a testing effect and not the specific condition that the participants were exposed. Participants in this study moderately preferred the instructional format.

Using repeated testing and variable encoding to promote transfer of learning
… four experiments examined how repeated testing and repeated studying affected retention and transfer of facts and concepts. Subjects studied prose passages and then either repeatedly re-studied or took tests on the material. One week later, they took a final test that either had the same …

Enhancing memory and self-regulated learning with scaffolded retrieval
… subsequent recall of that information. This testing effect has been demonstrated with a wide range of learning materials in both the laboratory and the classroom. But the benefits of testing are limited in two important ways, particularly with regard to the implementation of self-testing in …

Retrieval practice as a way to enhance learning and transfer in a high school biology classroom
… for their students if their goal is to teach effectively. Students who strive to improve their own learning often use less effective study strategies as a way to improve long-term memory or content transfer. If the goal of education is to teach students how to retrieve information that they …

The effect of looking up information on learning and long-term memory
… a variety of indirect and direct benefits. The testing effect describes the finding that retrieving information enhances long-term retention of that information, relative to restudying. Learners appear to be unaware of this benefit, and in turn, underutilize retrieval. As technology has made a …

An Investigation of the Test-Taking Skills and Associated Thinking Processes of Ninth Grade English Language Arts Students
… repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significant testing effect (p = .05) for advanced students early in the study, it was the below basic test-takers who actually made the greatest gains overall. And although students made improvement interpreting test questions and eliminating answers, all …

Exploring Instructors' Classroom Test Beliefs and Behaviors in Fundamental Engineering Courses: A Qualitative Multi-Case Study
… Tests have benefits to learning, such as the testing effect that helps with the retrieval of knowledge, but there are also disadvantages, like discouraging deep learning approaches and decreasing motivation to learn, that warrant examining and questioning why tests are common, which …
