}This essay reviews research on retrieval-based learning, which refers to the general finding that practicing active retrieval enhances long-term,meaningful learning. The idea that retrieval promotes learning has existed for centuries, and the first experiments demonstrating retrieval practice effects were carried out near the beginning of experimental research on learning and memory. Interest in retrieval practice was sporadic during the past century, but the topic has received intense interest…

Practicing retrieval shortly after learning can slow the forgetting process, and this benefit can be seen across various material types, and it seems prevalent in all ages and learners abilities and on all types of test.

The presented results suggest that online, open-book tests designed using gamification principles, even when covering partial course content and one type of questions, are an effective strategy for using educational technology to motivate students to repeatedly engage in retrieval-based learning activities and improve long-term knowledge retention, regardless of the course delivery mode.

It is argued that mnemonics and rhyme can be used, in the appropriate way, at the right time, by students as an important learning strategy that can help lay a foundation of knowledge to be developed and later built upon, or simply recall information more easily.

Retrieval-Based Learning: A Perspective for Enhancing Meaningful Learning
- Computer Science
- 2012
The case is made that retrieval is the key process for understanding and for promoting learning, and two approaches to addressing this problem are described: classroom quizzing and a computer-based learning program that guides students to practice retrieval.
Learning with retrieval-based concept mapping.

Students typically create concept maps while they view the material they are trying to learn. In these circumstances, concept mapping serves as an elaborative study activity—students are not required…

Analyses of correct recall, intrusions, response times, and temporal clustering dissociate retrieval practice from elaboration, supporting the episodic context account.
Metacognitive strategies in student learning: Do students practise retrieval when they study on their own?
- EducationMemory

It is proposed that many students experience illusions of competence while studying and that these illusions have significant consequences for the strategies students select when they monitor and regulate their own learning.
