Q

Test effects

A

the finding that long-term memory is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to retrieving the to-be-remembered information. The effect is also sometimes referred to as retrieval practice or test-enhanced learning. (helpful to receive feedback as study–i.e. Flash card sites)
