The testing effect is a well-known concept referring to gains in learning and retention that
can occur when students take a practice test on studied material before taking a final test on …

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 …

Learning is often identified with the acquisition and encoding of new information. Reading a
textbook, listening to a lecture, participating in a hands-on classroom activity, and studying a …

We examined the effects of retrieval practice for students who varied in working memory
capacity as a function of the lag between study of material and its initial test, whether or not …

Cognitive rehabilitation research is increasingly exploring errorless learning interventions,
which prioritise the avoidance of errors during treatment. The errorless learning approach …

Abstract Omega squared (ω^ 2) is a measure of effect size for analysis of variance (ANOVA)
designs. It is less biased than eta squared, but reported less often. This is in part due to lack …

A new theoretical framework for the testing effect—the finding that retrieval practice is
usually more effective for learning than are other strategies—is proposed, the empirically …

Learning new vocabulary from context typically requires multiple encounters during which
word meaning can be retrieved from memory or inferred from context. We compared the …

The acquisition and retention of knowledge is affected by a multitude of factors including
amount of practice, elapsed time since practice occurred, and the temporal distribution of …

Recent years have seen an increased push toward the standardization of education in the
