Retrieval-Based Learning (2012, methodology): “The author would like to thank Stephanie Karpicke for assistance with preparing the manuscript.”
When Is Practice Testing Most Effective for Improving the Durability and Efficiency of Student Learning? (2012, methodology): “Indeed, the advantage of practice testing over control conditions often are larger on delayed tests than on immediate tests, with evidence suggesting that testing can retard forgetting (e.g., Johnson and Mayer 2009; Roediger & Karpicke 2006).”
Recent Research on Human Learning Challenges Conventional Instructional Strategies (2010, background): “Likewise, testing effects have been observed in a variety of learning environments, including self-paced study outside the classroom (McDaniel et al., 2007), instructor-paced instruction (e.g., Carpenter et al., 2009), and multimedia learning (Johnson & Mayer, 2009).”
The learning benefits of teaching: A retrieval practice hypothesis (2018, methodology): “…& Pashler, 1992), learning content from prose passages (e.g., Roediger & Karpicke, 2006a), video‐based learning (e.g., Butler & Roediger, 2007; Johnson & Mayer, 2009; Yong & Lim, 2016), analogical problem solving (Wong, Ng, Tempel, & Lim, 2017), and, of particular relevance to the present…”
Quizzing in Middle-School Science: Successful Transfer Performance on Classroom Exams (2013, unknown): “Likewise, Johnson and Mayer (2009) found that subjects given a practice test about lightning formation after a multimedia presentation performed better on novel questions requiring transfer of the tested concepts than did subjects who rewatched the multimedia presentation without a practice test.”
Ten benefits of testing and their applications to educational practice. (2011, background): “…similar examples of transfer, testing Ten Benefits of Testing and Their Applications to Educational Practice improved transfer relative to restudying using multimedia materials ( Johnson & Mayer, 2009) and with elementary school children learning about maps (Rohrer, Taylor, & Sholar, 2010).”
Spacing and Testing Effects: A Deeply Critical, Lengthy, and At Times Discursive Review of the Literature (2010, methodology): “To get at this issue, they used the same continuous recognition paradigm as Johnston and Uhl (1976), but with a twist—instead of exact repetitions, people looked for words that had the same first three letters (e.”
Rethinking the Use of Tests: A Meta-Analysis of Practice Testing (2017, unknown): “…have revitalized interest in this phenomenon, with many studies over the past two decades (e.g., Chan, McDermott, & Roediger, 2006; Glover, 1989; Johnson & Mayer, 2009; McDaniel, Agarwal, Huelser, McDermott, & Roediger, 2011; McDaniel & Fisher, 1991; Roediger & Karpicke, 2006a; Rohrer &…”
Eight Ways to Promote Generative Learning (2016, background): “…testing effect with more meaningful learning materials such as prose passages (e.g., Roediger and Karpicke 2006), more meaningful learning outcomes such as transfer (e.g., Butler 2010; Johnson and Mayer 2009), and more diverse student populations such as young children (e.g., Karpicke et al. 2014).”
