Distributed practice
Includes spacing effect and lag effect, between first and second study there is an interstudy interval, between 2nd study and test a retention interval. (fixed amount)
Distributed explained: The context that an item is stored with fluctuates over time, so as more different components are attached to the item matching probability increases = retrieval probability increases. Glenberg
Encoding/contextual variability theory
Distributed explained: Second time studying the item is retrieved from long term memory (study phase retrieval), memory trace strengthens only if retrieval effortful and successful
Study-phase retrieval theory
Retrieval practice explained: Additional exposure and overlearning are achieved through THE FOCUS on the retrieved material, not through the retrieval process itself
Additional exposure and overlearning
Retrieval practice explained: the process is the key, effortful and successful retrieval reactivates memory traces creates multiple retrievl routes and strengthens representations.
Effortful retrieval and desirable difficulties
Retrieval practice explained: processes practiced during learning episode match the processes needed during final test.
Transfer appropriate processing
Retrieval hypothesis
retrieval process is the key to retrieval practice effect
Learning theory, Skinner
feedback reinforces correct answers, optimal in immediate, delayed diminishes reinforcing effect.
The spacing hypothesis
feedback is an additional encoding opportunity, delayed is better due to distributed practice.
The interference perseveration hypothesis
Feedback as an opportunity to correct errors, no impact on initially correct answers. Error correction impaired from immediate, so delayed best.
