Practicing Retrieval Facilitates Learning

Kathleen B. McDermott

Summary: Practicing retrieval shortly after learning new information can slow the forgetting process and improve student learning across various material types and all ages. This phenomenon, known as the testing effect or retrieval-based learning, has implications for future research directions.

A Learning Method for All: The Testing Effect Is Independent of Cognitive Ability

Bert Jonsson et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the testing effect has a positive impact on long-term memory retention independent of cognitive ability. Brain imaging confirms the effectiveness of retrieval practice in engaging brain regions associated with successful retrieval of conceptual representations and semantic processing.

Retrieval practice facilitates learning by strengthening processing in both the anterior and posterior hippocampus

Carola Wiklund-Hornqvist et al.

Summary: The study found that retrieval practice can strengthen subsequent retention through dual action in the anterior and posterior hippocampus, possibly reflecting the coding of individual experiences as well as integration and generalization across multiple experiences.

Active math and grammar learning engages overlapping brain networks

Sara Stillesjo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that active learning has common neurocognitive effects on long-term memory, increasing brain activity and potentially aiding in the formation and reactivation of semantic representations. These findings highlight the importance of active learning in promoting good long-term retention, providing valuable insights for educational practices.

No relation of Need for Cognition to basic executive functions

Anne Gaertner et al.

Summary: The studies found no conclusive evidence linking NFC to executive functions, with even moderate support for the null hypothesis. NFC is characterized by increased willingness to invest effort and exert self-control via motivational processes rather than increased cognitive control abilities.

Retrieval Practice Consistently Benefits Student Learning: a Systematic Review of Applied Research in Schools and Classrooms

Pooja K. Agarwal et al.

Summary: This literature review examines the impact of retrieval practice on student learning, with the majority of experiments showing medium or large benefits. The research indicates that retrieval practice not only improves learning outcomes, but is also applicable to various education levels, content areas, and experimental conditions.

Retrieval Practice: Beneficial for All Students or Moderated by Individual Differences?

Frida Bertilsson et al.

Summary: Retrieval practice is an effective learning technique that enhances long-term memory retention, unaffected by personality traits or working memory capacity. The study found significant testing effects at different time points, but no moderating effects of individual differences were identified.
