Four experiments tested the hypothesis that successful retrieval of an item from memory affects retention only because the retrieval provides an additional presentation of the target item. Two methods of learning paired associates were compared, In the pure study trial (pure ST condition) method, both items of a pair were presented simultaneously for study. In the test trial/study trial (TTST condition) method, subjects attempted to retrieve the response term during aperiod in which only the…

Retrieval practice enhances the accessibility but not the quality of memory

Rec retrieval practice increases the probability of successful memory retrieval but does not improve memory quality, and three experiments using a mixture modeling approach provide a measure of both the probabilities of recall and the quality of the recalled memories.
The pretesting effect: do unsuccessful retrieval attempts enhance learning?

The authors examined the effect of unsuccessful retrieval attempts on learning by reading an essay about vision and found that posttest performance was better in the test condition than in the extended study condition in all experiments--a pretesting effect.

Final recall was substantially reduced by DA in the restudy condition but not in the retrieval condition, and this pattern was found for related and unrelated word pairs, with feedback during retrieval practice and without, for immediate as well as delayed final tests.

To conclude, overt testing was more beneficial for later retention than covert testing, but the effect size was small.

It is suggested that an intervening test may be most beneficial to final retention when it provides more potential for elaborative processing.

Delayed recall was facilitated primarily when the cue on the immediate test was from the same level as the Cue on the delayed test, which suggests that immediate cued-recall produces an elaboration of an existing memory representation that is closely tied to the type of cue used on the immediately test.
