Wallace, Aleza S.; Elliot, Andrew J.; Rogge, Ronald D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Laboratory research has demonstrated that when students are instructed to use retrieval (i.e., recalling from memory information to be learned) rather than rereading (i.e., reading the material repeatedly) they learn better. However, little is known about spontaneous use of retrieval. In the present studies, we designed a scale to measure…

Sheldon, Signy; Fan, Carina; Uner, Idil; Young, Meredith – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Relating learned information to similar yet new scenarios, transfer of learning, is a key characteristic of expert reasoning in many fields including medicine. Psychological research indicates that transfer of learning is enhanced via active retrieval strategies. For diagnostic reasoning, this finding suggests that actively retrieving diagnostic…
