1. 6. Test-Enhanced Learning, Working Memory, and Difficulty of Material

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Dennis Nordstrand; [2018]
   Keywords : working memory; working memory capacity; test-enhanced learning; testing effect; practice testing; retrieval practice; retrieval effort; desirable difficulty; n-back; complex span; simple span; arbetsminne; arbetsminneskapacitet; testeffekten; testbaserat lärande; svårighetsgrad;

   Abstract : It is well established that repeated testing is more beneficial for durable learning than repeated studying of the same material, a phenomenon known as the testing effect.
