Multiple Practice Success Scaffolds Long‐Term Test‐Enhanced Learning in Preschoolers

Retrieval practice is known to enhance long‐term memory retention, a phenomenon termed as retrieval practice effect. Two experiments (NWhite = 202), showed that the effect was present in preschool age (5–6 years) and had a boundary condition, namely, amount of initial learning. Specifically, there w...

Tartalmi kivonat:Retrieval practice is known to enhance long‐term memory retention, a phenomenon termed as retrieval practice effect. Two experiments (NWhite = 202), showed that the effect was present in preschool age (5–6 years) and had a boundary condition, namely, amount of initial learning. Specifically, there was a considerable effect only when children reached a sufficient retrieval success rate during practice as a consequence of multiple initial learning cycles. Corroborating the robustness of our findings, the effect was present for both recall ( d = 0.315) and recognition ( d = 0.324) and did not depend on whether the forms of retrieval were the same or different during practice and final test. Important implications for early childhood education and development are discussed.
