q3 · i? · causal · r2

Authors' interpretation in the Discussion of the field experiment's knowledge results: final-assessment items were a distinct set tapping the same credit concepts, so the spaced-practice advantage "reflect deeper learning or transfer" rather than memorization of previously seen answers.

"the items on the quizzes and on the final assessment were never repeated (though they tapped a common set of concepts related to credit), and so the benefit observed was not due to improved memorization of specific answers to previously encountered questions but rather reflect deeper learning or transfer"
