Subclaims¶

q3 i? Hypothesis 6 was not confirmed: the individual-feedback retrieval-benefit group did not rate retrieval practice as more useful than the general-feedback group (F(1, 88) = 3.45, p = .07). → Luotong Hui 2021 q3 i2 Perceived utility of the restudy-benefit group decreased significantly after individual feedback (t(11) = -2.80, p = .02, d = -.68). → Luotong Hui 2021 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Experiment 2 repeated measures ANOVA comparing perceived utility ratings (days 1 and 15) between the individual-feedback retrieval-benefit group and the general-feedback group: Hypothesis 6 "did not confirm", p = .07, with only a tendency in the expected direction; no effect size printed.

"Repeated measures ANOVAs did not confirm Hypothesis 6, which predicted that participants from the individual-feedback group who had experienced the testing effect would consider retrieval practice as more useful than would those from the general-feedback group, ( F(1, 88) =3.45, p = .07), although there was a tendency in the expected direction."

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Experiment 2 exploratory paired-samples t-test on perceived utility for the restudy-benefit subgroup: utility "decreased significantly before and after the individual feedback", d = -.68. The same-score group showed no change (p = .22), and the general-feedback group's utility also decreased (p = .03).

"the utility of retrieval practice as perceived by the restudy-benefit participants decreased significantly before and after the individual feedback ( t(11) =−2.80, p =. 0 2 ,d = -.68)"

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 — related
