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 …

Even without feedback, test practice enhances delayed performance compared to study
practice, but the size of the effect is variable across studies. We investigated the benefit of …

We discuss the findings from our 2006 article in Psychological Science on the testing effect
and describe how the project arose. The testing effect (or retrieval-practice effect) was first …

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 …

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 …

Tests, as learning events, can enhance subsequent recall more than do additional study
opportunities, even without feedback. Such advantages of testing tend to appear, however …

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 …

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 …
