The Testing Effect
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The testing effect is the improved long-term retention produced by retrieving material rather than reviewing it.
Show
Students who self-test on a passage outperform students who reread it the same number of times.
Watch for
Retrieval practice feels harder and less productive than rereading, which is why it is used less.
