Many studies have shown that retrieving information during a test facilitates later memory for
that information. Most research on this testing effect has focused on retention of information …

People learn from tests. Providing tests often enhances retention more than additional study
opportunities, but is this testing effect mediated by processes related to retrieval that are …

Engaging in a test over previously studied information can serve as a potent learning event,
a phenomenon referred to as the testing effect. Despite a surge of research in the past …

Attempting recall of information from memory, as occurs when taking a practice test, is one of
the most potent training techniques known to learning science. However, does testing yield …

The testing effect is a robust empirical finding in the research on learning and instruction,
demonstrating that taking tests during the learning phase facilitates later retrieval from long …

The present research investigated whether test-enhanced learning can be used to promote
transfer. More specifically, 4 experiments examined how repeated testing and repeated …

In the last couple of years, there has been a dramatic increase in laboratory research
examining the benefits of recall testing on long-term learning and retention. This work was …

A powerful way of improving one's memory for material is to be tested on that material. Tests
enhance later retention more than additional study of the material, even when tests are …

Taking a memory test not only assesses what one knows, but also enhances later retention,
a phenomenon known as the testing effect. We studied this effect with educationally relevant …

The facilitative effect of retrieval practice, or testing, on the probability of later retrieval has
been the focus of much recent empirical research. A lesser known benefit of retrieval …
