Barenberg, Jonathan; Berse, Timo; Reimann, Laura; Dutke, Stephan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
The application of knowledge to new contexts (i.e., transfer) is a central aim of learning processes and has become a new focus of testing effect research. In a quasi-experimental design, we investigated the transfer of retrieval practice effects on English vocabulary learning on eighth-grade students (N = 182) by applying a typical testing effect…

Commissaire, Eva; Duncan, Lynne G.; Casalis, Severine – Journal of Research in Reading, 2011
This study explores the nature of orthographic processing skills among French-speaking children in Grades 6 and 8 who are learning English at school as a second language (L2). Two aspects of orthographic processing skills are thought to form a convergent construct in monolingual beginning readers: word-specific knowledge (e.g. "rain-rane") and…
