12Doing a brain dump consists in writing down everything you remember about a subject.
Are doing a brain dump and remembering the back of an index card both considered retrieval practice?
Base your reasoning on what was discussed in class, and careful consideration of the situations.- ANo, neither involve retrieval practice.
- BNo, because index cards are the only proper way of doing retrieval practice.
- CNo, only doing a brain dump is proper retrieval practice.
- DYes, but index cards are much better, because you can hide some of the information.
- EYes, but doing a brain dump is probably even better, because it increases the difficulty of retrieval, and we know that is beneficial.
13What is happening in the case of discrimination errors?
- AChoosing valid information that is irrelevant to the problem at hand.
- BUnconscious biases influence and skew our answers.
- CConscious biases influence and skew our answers.
- DIncorrect calculations of the discriminant of a polynomial.
14One concern about retrieval practice is that it might be great for simple memorization tasks (such as learning vocabulary in a foreign language), but not useful for more conceptual tasks (such as reasoning on scientific facts).
Did we cover any evidence that retrieval practice is also useful for things that are not simple memorization tasks?- ANo, we did not review such studies, and so we cannot say.
- BNo, retrieval practice is good for simple memorization, but not for anything more complicated.
- CYes, there was one study that showed that retrieval practice is not only good to memorize facts, but also to transfer that knowledge to new situations.
- DYes, but retrieval practice was best when combined with highlighting in that case.
15Did all the studies on interleaving include both interleaved and blocked groups?
Choose the BEST answer.- ANo, one study focused on a different comparison, using an interleaved group and a random group.
- BYes, all these studies had an interleaved group and a blocked group. Some studies also had different groups with different types of interleaved training.
- CNo, one study was comparing various levels of interleaving, but had no blocked group.
- DYes, all these studies had at least an interleaved group and a blocked group in the training phase. One study also used blocking and interleaving in the testing phase.
16What can we conclude from the study on concept mapping and retrieval practice?
Choose the BEST TWO answers.- AConcept mapping is not a useful way of studying.
- BConcept mapping without retrieval practice is not a useful way of studying.
- COur subjective sense of how well we learn things is not a reliable indication of what we actually know.
- DWe tend to underestimate how well we know things.
17Does having feedback on your retrieved information seem to influence your learning?
- AYes. Feedback benefits learning from retrieval practice, and without it retrieval practice is useless
- BNo. Feedback does not matter.
- CWe did not talk about a study of retrieval in which feedback was manipulated.
- DYes. Feedback benefits learning from retrieval practice, but it is not necessary for retrieval practice to be useful.
- ENo. Feedback does not matter at all, because it is the practice of recalling things that matters.
18Why does it make sense to have the study on more training pairs versus more recall as the first study on retrieval practice?
- AActually, the order of the studies is arbitrary, and could have been completely different.
- BBecause it is the earliest study that was conducted on retrieval practice.
- CBecause its protocol is standard for a study on learning, and it influences all other studies on retrieval practice.
- DBecause we should verify that retrieval practice is useful, before considering variations in terms of how retrieval practice can be done.
