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 …

Laboratory studies show that taking a test on studied material promotes subsequent learning
and retention of that material on a final test (termed the testing effect). Educational research …

An important recent finding is that testing improves learning and memory. In this article, the
authors describe a demonstration that illustrates this principle and helps students …

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 …

Although summative testing is often maligned within educational communities, practice
testing is one of the most well-established strategies for improving student learning. Despite …

Test-enhanced learning refers to the fact that taking an initial test on studied material
enhances its later retention relative to simply studying the material and then taking a final …

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 …

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 …
