Recent studies suggest that making judgments of learning (JOLs)--self-assessment of current learning status--may not merely be a neutral cognitive process, but can directly improve learning through what is called 'JOL reactivity'. This study investigated whether making JOLs can facilitate the learning of previously studied materials (backward…

Matthias Grünke; Isa Braunwarth; Vincent Connelly; Anne Barwasser – Education and Treatment of Children, 2025
This single-case study assessed the effectiveness of a mnemonic pegword strategy designed to enhance the multiplication fact fluency of three 6th-grade students who demonstrated persistent learning difficulties in mathematics. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline across subjects design was utilized, incorporating 3-5 baseline sessions followed by…

A large-scale (n = 1323) survey of mnemonic recall, self-reported familiarity, cued explanation, and application by introductory statistics students was conducted at a large research university in the southeastern United States. The students were presented 14 mnemonics during the fall 2017 term. Different nonoverlapping cohorts of students were…

Wang, Lisi; Muenks, Katherine; Yan, Veronica X. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Retrieval practice is an effective strategy to promote long-term retention and learning, but students do not always use it in the most effective ways. Applying various intervention design principles that leverage sociomotivational research, we created an intervention targeted not only at teaching students about the efficacy of retrieval practice,…

Brittany Devies; Grant R. Mitchell; Katherine Gibson – New Directions for Student Leadership, 2024
Leadership observation is a technique that relies on active and inactive recall to enhance learning through connecting theoretic concepts to real-world examples. This article makes the case that leadership observation should be thoughtfully used as a pedagogical tool to aid in students' leadership learning. Knowledge will be shared through…

Casey K. Reimer; Heather Grantham; Andrew C. Butler – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
On average, deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children have difficulty developing expressive spoken vocabulary comparable to hearing peers. Yet, there are no evidence-based practices to guide classroom instruction for teachers of the deaf. Retrieval practice--a robust learning strategy--has been shown to improve children's retention of vocabulary,…

Chengzhen Liu; Qianling Huang; Geng Li; Dahong Xu; Xi Li; Zifu Shi; Shen Tu – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
The process of creative problem-solving (CPS) commonly demands that individuals consciously or unconsciously integrate creative ideas from a vast array of diverse information. Using a masked priming paradigm and the Chinese remote associates test (RAT), this study provides innovative behavioral evidence for the integration of multiple unconscious…

The Effects of Teaching a Problem-Solving Strategy on Recalling Past Events with a Child with Autism
Keesey-Phelan, Stephanie H.; Axe, Judah B.; Williams, Ashley L. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2022
Problem-solving strategies, such as visual imagining and self-questioning, may assist children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in recalling past events. In the current study, at the start of each session, a 7-year-old boy with ASD engaged in a novel activity with a behavior therapist who took pictures of the activity. Ninety minutes later, a…

Attout, Lucie; Monnier, Catherine – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The use of a verbal rehearsal strategy (repeating the items to be remembered to oneself in serial order) has been identified as a key factor in explaining working memory (WM) development. However, the debate remains open with regard to the age at which children are able to use it, and the actual benefits of using such a strategy. Numerous…

Lelonkiewicz; Gary Lupyan; Whitney Mendenhall; David Moreau; Christina Schonberg; Christian K. Tamnes; Haley Vlach; Emily M. Elliott – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

Dahwi Ahn; Jason C. K. Chan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Testing can potentiate new learning, which is often called the "forward testing effect." One potential explanation for this benefit is that testing might enable participants to use more effective learning strategies subsequently. We investigated this possibility by asking participants to report their encoding strategies in a multi-list…

Robey, Alison; Castillo, Carlos; Ha, Joseph; Kerlow, Marina; Tesfa, Nebyat; Dougherty, Michael – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
Deciding what items to restudy is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Previous research (Robey et al. "Psychological Science," 28(11), 1683-1693, 2017) reports that having learners make different types of metacognitive judgments affects restudy decisions. More specifically, when learners made retrospective confidence…

Vegard Gjerde; Martino Marisaldi; Kjellmar Oksavik; Kjartan Olafsson; Harald Spångberg; Bodil Holst – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Students and educators often face time constraints, making it essential to develop interventions that are both easy to implement and have a substantial impact on learning and performance. One promising strategy is retrieval practice, particularly in the context of physics education, where many students struggle with basic knowledge. Prior research…

Xinqing Wang; Frank Boers; Paul Warren – Language Awareness, 2024
Studies have shown that informing language learners about the literal underpinning of idioms can help them to remember these expressions. It has also been suggested that prompting learners to guess the meaning of lexical items may be beneficial because it can pique their curiosity and promote cognitive engagement. In the case of idioms, the…

Hajer Mguidich; Bachir Zoudji; Aïmen Khacharem – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
The imagination effect occurs when learners who imagine a procedure perform better on a subsequent test than learners who study it. The present study explored whether this effect is restricted to short-term learning or whether it also applies when learning is tested after a delay. Forty novices and forty experts learned about a basketball game…
