Abstract

Currently the researches on learning and memory paid close attention to the testing effect of memory, which enlightened people to reweigh the nature of test. Testing memory was not only a measurement of the degree of study but it could promote learning better than repeated encoding. Testing memory during study made more accurate JOL relative to study by rote. Although self-testing might to a certain extent slowed down the process of learning, it can actually realize efficient learning. The authors believed that giving tests during the class or encouraging students to use self-testing strategy could benefit the long-term performance.
