Testing improves long-term retention in a simulated classroom setting
Abstract
The benefits of testing on long-term retention of lecture material were examined in a simulated classroom setting. Participants viewed a series of three lectures on consecutive days and engaged in a different type of postlecture activity on each day: studying a lecture summary, taking a multiple choice test, or taking a short answer test. Feedback (correct answers) was provided for half of the responses on the multiple choice and short answer tests. A final comprehensive short answer test was given 1 month later. Restudying or taking a multiple choice test soon after learning improved final recall relative to no activity, but taking an initial short answer test improved final recall the most. Feedback did not affect retention, probably due to the high level of performance on the initial tests. This finding is a powerful demonstration of how tests (especially recall tests) can improve retention of material after long retention intervals.

“When material has been previously studied, taking an MCQ test followed by feedback has been found to yield comparable final test performance to restudying (e.g.Butler & Roediger, 2007; S. H. K. Kang, McDermott, & Roediger, 2007;McDaniel, Anderson, Derbish, & Morisette, 2007).”

In the citing paper
“When cued or free recall is employed during the learning phase, many studies have found improved subsequent memory performance on a final test compared to when recognition is used (Butler & Roediger, 2007; Kang et al., 2007; Stenlund et al., 2016); for reviews, see (McDermott, 2021; Rowland, 2014).”

In the citing paper
“This notion can be compared to the DDF/REH in that tasks requiring a generated response (cued and free recall) consistently yield higher long-term retention (Butler & Roediger, 2007; Carpenter & DeLosh, 2006; Endres & Renkl, 2015; Kang et al., 2007; Stenlund et al., 2016); for reviews, see McDermott (2021) and Rowland (2014).”

“Some studies have demonstrated testing effects using classroom materials (e.g., Carpenter et al. 2009) or using experimenter-created materials in a simulated classroom setting (Butler & Roediger 2007, Duchastel & Nungester 1982); to date, however, very few studies have attempted to address whether introduction of in-class quizzing can improve actual course grades.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
