The science of effective learning with spacing and retrieval practice
Research on the psychology of learning has highlighted straightforward ways of enhancing
learning. However, effective learning strategies are underused by learners. In this Review …

The cognitive principles of learning underlying the 5E Model of Instruction
H Ruiz-Martín, RW Bybee - International Journal of STEM Education, 2022 - Springer
Over 34 years since its conception, research in educational settings has found evidence for

Students can (mostly) recognize effective learning, so why do they not do it?
Cognitive psychology research has emphasized that the strategies that are effective and
efficient for fostering long-term retention (eg, interleaved study, retrieval practice) are often …

Do practice tests (quizzes) reduce or provoke test anxiety? A meta-analytic review
Practice testing is a powerful tool to consolidate long-term retention of studied information,
facilitate subsequent learning of new information, and foster knowledge transfer. However …

Students' achievement motivation moderates the effects of interpolated pre-questions on attention and learning from video lectures
The study tested achievement motivation as a moderator of the relationship between pre-
interpolated questions and learning from video lectures. Participants were 63 university …

Happy together? On the relationship between research on retrieval practice and generative learning using the case of follow-up learning tasks
Generative learning activities are assumed to support the construction of coherent mental
representations of to-be-learned content, whereas retrieval practice is assumed to support …

Pretesting enhances learning in the classroom
NC Soderstrom, EL Bjork - Educational Psychology Review, 2023 - Springer
The current study examined whether the learning benefits of pretesting—like those
produced by posttesting—generalize to classroom settings, and whether such benefits …

Spaced retrieval practice: Can restudying trump retrieval?
We investigated spaced retrieval and restudying in 3 preregistered, online experiments. In
all experiments, participants studied 40 Swahili–English word pair translations during an …

Sequence matters! Retrieval practice before generative learning is more effective than the reverse order
As follow-up to an initial study phase, both generative learning activities and retrieval
practice can substantially enhance learning, but via different functions. Generative activities …
