Three experiments demonstrated learners' abilities to adaptively and qualitatively accommodate their encoding strategies to the demands of an upcoming test. Stimuli were word pairs. In Experiment 1, test expectancy was induced for either cued recall (of targets given cues) or free recall (of targets only) across 4 study-test cycles of the same…

Do Students Think That Difficult or Valuable Materials Should Be Restudied Sooner Rather than Later?
Cohen, Michael S.; Yan, Veronica X.; Halamish, Vered; Bjork, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Despite the clear long-term benefits of spaced practice, students and teachers often choose massed practice. Whether learners actually fail to appreciate the benefits of spacing is, however, open to question. Early studies (e.g., Zechmeister & Shaughnessy, 1980) found that participants' judgments of learning were higher after massed than after…

Toppino, Thomas C.; Cohen, Michael S.; Davis, Meghan L.; Moors, Amy C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
The authors clarify the source of a conflict between previous findings related to metacognitive control over the distribution of practice. In a study by L. Son (2004), learners were initially presented pairs of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) vocabulary words and their common synonyms for 1 s, after which they chose to study the pair again…
