Expanding retrieval practice promotes short-term retention, but equally spaced retrieval enhances long-term retention.
Expanding retrieval practice (T. K. Landauer & R. A. Bjork, 1978) is regarded as a superior technique for promoting long-term retention relative to equally spaced retrieval practice. In Experiments 1 and 2, the authors found that expanding retrieval practice of vocabulary word pairs produced short-term benefits 10 min after learning, conceptually replicating Landauer and Bjork's results. Howeve...
متن کاملOptimizing retrieval as a learning event: when and why expanding retrieval practice enhances long-term retention.
Retrieving information from memory makes that information more recallable in the future than it otherwise would have been. Optimizing retrieval practice has been assumed, on the basis of evidence and arguments tracing back to Landauer and Bjork (1978), to require an expanding-interval schedule of successive retrievals, but recent findings suggest that expanding retrieval practice may be inferio...
متن کاملThe critical role of retrieval practice in long-term retention.
Learning is usually thought to occur during episodes of studying, whereas retrieval of information on testing simply serves to assess what was learned. We review research that contradicts this traditional view by demonstrating that retrieval practice is actually a powerful mnemonic enhancer, often producing large gains in long-term retention relative to repeated studying. Retrieval practice is ...
متن کاملPracticing memory retrieval improves long-term retention in rats
The view that the human mind is a repository of stored items dates at least to Aristotle and Plato and continues to dominate investigations of human memory. This view fits with our intuitions that we study information as the optimal method to store information in memory and that retrieval of information functions only to assess what information was previously stored. Yet modern research on huma...
متن کاملRetrieval Practice 1 Running head: RETRIEVAL PRACTICE OVER THE LONG TERM Retrieval Practice Over the Long Term: Should Spacing Be Expanding or Equal-Interval?
If there are multiple opportunities to review to-be-learned material, should a review occur soon after initial study and recur at progressively expanding intervals, or should the reviews occur at equal intervals? Landauer and Bjork (1978) argued for the superiority of expanding intervals, whereas more recent research has often failed to find any advantage. However, these prior studies have gene...
