Effectiveness of self-generation during learning is dependent on individual differences in need for cognition.
J Schindler, S Schindler, MA Reinhard - Frontline Learning Research, 2019 - ERIC
Self-generated information is better recognized and recalled than read information. This so-
called generation effect has been replicated several times for different types of stimulus …
