Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Retrieval practice decisions after feedback depended on which strategy the student benefited from: a significant group × decision interaction (F(2, 57) = 8.42, p < .001, ηp2 = .23). → Luotong Hui 2021 q3 i? The retrieval-benefit group significantly increased retrieval practice choice after feedback, the same-score group showed no difference, and the restudy-benefit group significantly reduced retrieval practice choice. → Luotong Hui 2021 (2)

Luotong Hui, Anique B. H. de Bruin, Jeroen Donkers, & Jeroen J. G. van Merriënboer. (2021). Does Individual Performance Feedback Increase the Use of Retrieval Practice? Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-021-09604-x

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

Experiment 1 repeated measures ANOVA on retrieval practice choice before and after individual feedback, grouping participants by which strategy benefited them. The "interaction effect between the groups and retrieval practice decisions" was statistically significant, ηp2 = .23.

"we found an interaction effect between the groups and retrieval practice decisions that was statistically significant (F(2, 57) = 8.42, p <. 0 0 1 ,ηp2 = .23)"

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Follow-up comparisons in Experiment 1 by benefit subgroup: the retrieval-benefit group increased retrieval practice choice (p < .01), the same-score group showed "no difference in strategy choice" (p = .90), and the restudy-benefit group significantly reduced it (p = .01). No effect sizes printed for these subgroup contrasts.

"the retrieval-benefit group revealed a significant increase in retrieval practice choice after receiving feedback ( p <. 0 1 ) ;t h es a m e -score group showed no difference in strategy choice between the two measurements (p =. 9 0 ) ; and the restudy-benefit group significantly reduced retrieval practice choice after feedback (p = .01)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Students who benefited from retrieval practice rated it as more effective after receiving individual feedback, while other groups showed no statistically significant change (Experiment 1) — related
• Only individual performance feedback, not general instruction about the testing effect, produced long-term increases in retrieval practice use, and only for students who benefited from retrieval practice — a broader claim this one bears on
• In an exploratory Experiment 1 subgroup analysis, the preference for blocked studying after feedback disappeared among students who actually performed better with interleaved studying — related
