Retrieval Practice

  1. Which memory benefit is also known as retrieval practice? 100

    testing effectChecked against: The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.Source, pinned revision

  2. Which alternative name emphasizes deliberately bringing information back to mind? 200

    active recallChecked against: The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.Source, pinned revision

  3. What kind of memory is increased when study time includes retrieval? 300

    long-term memoryChecked against: The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.Source, pinned revision

  4. Which broader benefit from repeating task items is distinguished from the testing effect? 400

    practice effectChecked against: It is different from the more general practice effect, defined in the APA Dictionary of Psychology as "any change or improvement that results from practice or repetition of task items or activities."Source, pinned revision

  5. A teacher uses low-stakes questions to teach rather than merely assess. Which named approach is being applied? 500

    practice testingChecked against: The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.Source, pinned revision

Spaced Study

  1. Which evidence-based technique schedules repeated review over time? 100

    spaced repetitionChecked against: Spaced repetition is an evidence-based learning technique that is usually performed with flashcards.Source, pinned revision

  2. Which study tool is usually used with spaced repetition? 200

    flashcardsChecked against: Spaced repetition is an evidence-based learning technique that is usually performed with flashcards.Source, pinned revision

  3. Which psychological principle does the review schedule exploit? 300

    spacing effectChecked against: Newly introduced and more difficult flashcards are shown more frequently, while older and less difficult flashcards are shown less frequently in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect.Source, pinned revision

  4. What physical-card system is named for performing spaced repetition? 400

    Leitner systemChecked against: It is also possible to perform spaced repetition with physical flashcards using the Leitner system.Source, pinned revision

  5. A learner sorts cards by difficulty. Which cards should appear more often under the stated rule? 500

    newly introduced and more difficult flashcardsChecked against: Newly introduced and more difficult flashcards are shown more frequently, while older and less difficult flashcards are shown less frequently in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect.Source, pinned revision

Taking Notes

  1. What practice records information from different sources and platforms? 100

    note-takingChecked against: Note-taking (sometimes written as notetaking or note taking) is the practice of recording information from different sources and platforms.Source, pinned revision

  3. Which transient spoken source is listed as a common origin for notes? 300

    oral discussionChecked against: Notes are commonly drawn from a transient source, such as an oral discussion at a meeting, or a lecture (notes of a meeting are usually called minutes), in which case the notes may be the only record of the event.Source, pinned revision

  4. What special name is used for notes recording a meeting? 400
