Testing Effect 2
As in the title
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Give details of the experimental design for the first experiment in the second paper | 2x3 Mixed factorial Within subjects - restudy vs test Between subjects - final test delay @ 5m, 2days & 7days |
How many participants were there in the second study experiment 1 and how old were they? | 120 and between 18 & 24 |
What test material was used? for both experiments? | 'Scientific Prose' Teaching English as a foreign language Sea otters and The Sun |
Explain more about the within subjects conditions and cycles for the experiment #1 | Conditions = SS & ST Cycles - Both x4 |
Explain more about the between subjects conditions and cycles for the experiment #1 | Conditions = 5 min, 2days, 1 week Test x1 - 10 minutes to recall as much of the prose as possible |
What distractions were there for the first experiment of the second paper? | Multiplication questions 2min between phases |
Give details of the experimental design for the second experiment in the second paper | 3x2 Between subjects Between subjects 1 - SSSS vs SSST vs STTT Between subjects 2 - Final test @ 5min post vs 7 days |
Explain more about the between subjects conditions and cycles for the experiment #2 in the second paper | SSSS = Repeated study, SSST = Single study, STTT = Repeated test 30x each prose all conditions |
Explain more about the second set of between subjects conditions and cycles from experiment #2 in the second paper | 1x test 5min & 7 days Asked also about how interesting, how readable and metacognitive awareness question also |
What distractions were there for the second experiment in the second paper? | Nothin was identified |
What did the results from the second paper first experiment demonstrate? | Repeated study improved their recall after 5 min Repeated testing improved their recall in the long term A main effect of retention interval indicative of decay |
What did the results from the second paper second experiment demonstrate? | SSSS condition highest after 5 minutes SSST group most effective after 1 week |
How was the metacognition and how did it compare with that of the first paper? | Same results, same outcome, that people who studied a lot over stretched their expectations |
What was covered in the discussion for the second paper? | That immediate testing produced Bette LT results Study repeatedly produced Bette short term results (the Ebbinghaus curve could be explained this way) |
What is transfer appropriate processing and how does it link to neural plasticity? | Practice of skills for retrieval during learning Strength of association with meaning Hebbian theory #of retrieval routes in the brain neural plasticity |
What were limitations of the second paper? | Prose choice might not have matched in difficulty Discrepancy between test length times (comparing 1st experiment and 2nd) Some statistical reporting anomalies - significance stated although not found to be >0.05 = 0.35 & 0.18?? |
