Solve It Again Cold
Three months ago you solved 60 problems. Interviews are in six weeks. You have four hours this weekend, and your goal is to retain what those 60 problems taught you.
Karpicke and Roediger had subjects learn word lists under different schedules of study trials (S) and test trials (T), then measured free recall one week later.
| condition | one cycle, repeated 5 times | study trials | test trials | recall at 1 week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| standard | study, test, study, test (STST) |
10 | 10 | 68% |
| repeated test | study once, then test three times (STTT) |
5 | 15 | 64% |
| repeated study | study three times, then test (SSST) |
15 | 5 | 57% |
Which use of the four hours does this support?
