To assess learning: separate temporary
performance from learning effects

Allow time for temporary effects to dissipate

Q

When is an absolute retention test used?

GOOD for determining pure “learning” effects (i.e., relatively permanent effects); especially when comparing different groups/conditions

Q

When is a Relative retention test used?

A

GOOD if we want a measure of forgetting (e.g., loss) or memory consolidation (i.e., skill preservation or gains after sleep/rest).

BUT relative measures are still sensitive to temporary
factors, such as fatigue, which affects the calculation
