Retrieval practice for monitoring and mastery
Key study tips
Be orginized create a plan on when you will study.
Study sessions twice or more for each class.
Practice retrieving a subject over multiple sessions.
Setting up practice tests
You can use flash cards for simple and complex subjects.
You can also find practice tests on subjects online as well as online flat cards.
The first step in Successive Relearning is setting up a practice test.
Why is retrieval practice important?
Retrieval practice can enhance long term retention in two ways first it helps monitor how well you are learning and second it can directly improve your retention of the information
When you practice this you may feel less anxious on exam day.
This will help in the long run so that you don't forget subjects and can remember them on exams.
The flash card plus method
In this method you go beyond just the term on one side and the textbook definition on the other.
To help better process material re word it into your own definition under the text book definition.
After you re word it jot down a few connections you can make to your life to help you better remember.
Scoring your answers to practice test
After you have scored yourself go back and mark the things you need to re study.
Once you have re studied come back a few days later a re quiz yourself.
Write all the answers down on a paper so that once you finish quizzing yourself you can go back and easily find what you missed.
What is the evidence?
most memory research the test is used to measure peoples memory after studying
when people take a test, the test itself is not only measures their memory but also enhances their memory for it.
Final test performance was about 20% higher when students were tested on the passage than when they just re studied them
What is retrieval practice?
Attempting to retrieve memory from your brain that you'd like to learn.
Retrieval practice is a powerful way to gain long term retention on what you need to learn
Retrival practice helps you learn a lot more than just word assosiations
The power of successive relearning for introductory psychology
It will also speed up how fast you can recall information.
During a experiment students who studied using successive relearning scored about a letter grade and a half better than students who did not use this process.
If you use this tool across three sessions it is almost guaranteed that by the third session you will be easily retrieving complex definitions and responses.
Successive Relearning
This is a powerful learning technique that combines retrieval practice and spaced practice.
Using flash cards is a good way to practice successive relearning
Entails trying to retrieve the correct answer by examining feedback to see if you are correct or not then if you are wrong going back re studying and repeating all the steps again.
How much do we use retrival practice?
Simple things such as remembering a route you drove is prating retrival parctice
Video games also involve retrival practice
You do many things through out the day to practice this you just may not be aware. Being able to retrieve information can help us in lots of ways such as being a better diver and getting better at a instrument
