Retreival And Interleaving

Question 1

More training pairs / more recall

Answer 1

Mashua - boat. is studying the best way of learning? results for many or one training pairs vs repeated or one retrieval, results were same on final test.

Question 2

difficulty of retrieval

Answer 2

Student learned 70 Swahili-English word pairs. Difficulty of retrieval between 1-6 minute delay. 25 min later, more difficult studying performed better on test.

Question 3

feedback
