Subclaims¶

q2 i? Situational interest was higher after free-recall than after short-answer retrieval practice, and recall performance differences positively predicted interest differences. → Tino Endres 2020

Tino Endres, Lena Kranzdorf, Vivien Schneider, Alexander Renkl. (2020). It matters how to recall – task differences in retrieval practice. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-020-09526-1

q2 · i? · causal · r2

In the 54-participant within-subject study, situational interest (three items, α = 0.827) was higher after free-recall (ƞ2 = 0.208). Regression showed test-for-learning performance predicted interest (b = 0.33, p = 0.014, R2 = 0.11); MEMORE mediation via performance was complete (B = 0.83, 95% CI [0.20, 1.77]).

"Learners exhibited deeper situational interest after a free-recall task. A stronger experience of success predicted greater situational interest."
