Kornell, Nate; Hays, Matthew Jensen; Bjork, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Taking tests enhances learning. But what happens when one cannot answer a test question--does an unsuccessful retrieval attempt impede future learning or enhance it? The authors examined this question using materials that ensured that retrieval attempts would be unsuccessful. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were asked fictional…

A PATTERN OF PROBLEMS IN COMMUNICATION AMONG STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS AND BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND ITS FACULTY ADVISORS CONTRIBUTED TO A DECISION TO SUBSTITUTE A PROGRAM OF SENSITIVITY TRAINING FOR THE USUAL STUDENT COUNCIL ORIENTATION PROGRAM. IT WAS HOPED THAT SUCH A PROGRAM WOULD FACILITATE A FLOW OF EXPRESSION AND A REDUCTION OF INTERPERSONAL…
