Document Summary
Why is one better than the other: longer lags between practice means retrieval is effortful, variability of context, retrieval cues can associate with information, other factors, # of total sessions, gap between sessions. Strategy #1: self-testing, review + retrieval practice > review + more review, this is referred to as the (cid:498)testing(cid:499) effect. It makes the memory trace stronger: when you practice, you identify your weaknesses as well, example of metacognition: how well you know what you know. We forget 40% of what we are learning every 10 minutes, but just for the first. 20 minutes 70-90% of info covered during a class lecture is forgotten after. Main differences between the behaviorist view of learning and the cognitivist view of learning. Describe some classroom implications of each theory, how these might differ across between theories, as well as some similiarities we might expect. Learn"s role differs between the behaviorist approach and the cognivitist approach.
