Retrieval-Based Learning: A Perspective for Enhancing Meaningful Learning (2012, unknown): “In particular, one idea is that the act of attempting retrieval improves or " potentiates " encoding during a future study episode (see Izawa 1970; Karpicke 2009; Karpicke and Roediger 2007; Kornell et al. 2009).”
Test-Enhanced Learning in a Middle School Science Classroom: The Effects of Quiz Frequency and Placement. (2011, background): “In laboratory work, repeated retrieval practice (multiple quizzes) increases the learning benefits from quizzing (Karpicke & Roediger, 2007, 2008).”
Retrieval Practice & Bloom’s Taxonomy: Do Students Need Fact Knowledge Before Higher Order Learning? (2019, result): “…on delayed test performance, even when the first and second study periods were spaced over time, replicating previous findings (Agarwal et al., 2008; Callender & McDaniel, 2009; Carrier & Pashler, 1992; Karpicke & Roediger, 2007; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006b; Wheeler, Ewers, & Buonanno, 2003).”
Testing the retrieval effort hypothesis: Does greater difficulty correctly recalling information lead to higher levels of memory? (2009, background): “Karpicke and Roediger (2007b) have examined final test performance as a function of the number of times items were correctly retrieved with a larger range of criterion levels.”
Retrieval Mode Distinguishes the Testing Effect from the Generation Effect. (2010, unknown): “This finding replicates prior work examining retrieval practice with pure-list between-subjects designs (Carpenter, 2009; Carpenter et al., 2006; Karpicke & Roediger, 2007; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006b).”
Metacognitive strategies in student learning: Do students practise retrieval when they study on their own? (2009, methodology): “Our recent research has generalised the testing effect to educational materials (Butler & Roediger, 2007; Karpicke & Roediger, 2007, 2008; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006b) and real-world classroom environments (see McDaniel, Roediger, & McDermott, 2007).”
Ten benefits of testing and their applications to educational practice. (2011, methodology): “For example, all the experiments described in the previous paragraph could be interpreted as exemplifying direct effects of testing because the two effects are mixed together in those designs (e.g., the design of Karpicke and Roediger (2007) and others described above).”
Retrieval-Based Learning (2012, background): “Every time a person retrieves knowledge, that knowledge is changed, because retrieving knowledge improves one’s ability to retrieve it again in the future (Karpicke & Roediger, 2007, 2008; Karpicke & Zaromb, 2010).”
Separate mnemonic effects of retrieval practice and elaborative encoding (2012, background): “This measure holds the different learning conditions (drop, repeated study, and repeated retrieval) to the same performance criterion (Karpicke, 2009; Karpicke & Roediger, 2007, 2008).”
