Abstract

When compared with re-studying, practicing retrieval of information from memory leads to better retention and transfer of learning, a finding called the testing effect. Although much research has established the generalizability of the benefits of retrieval practice across a variety of contextual factors (i.e., encoding conditions, retrieval conditions, and materials used), only a handful of studies have examined whether individual differences influence the extent to which learners benefit from this strategy. The purpose of the present scoping review is to examine existing research on individual differences within the testing effect paradigm. A total of 20 studies that investigate 20 individual difference constructs were included and analyzed. Surprisingly, the majority of the studies found no significant relationship between the individual difference construct(s) of interest and the magnitude of the testing effect. This central finding is discussed in relation to both theoretical explanations of the testing effect and recommendations for educational practice.

与重新学习相比,练习从记忆中检索信息能更好地保持和迁移所学知识,这一结论被称为测试效应。尽管许多研究已经证实,检索练习的益处可以在各种情境因素(即编码条件、检索条件和使用的材料)中得到推广,但只有少数研究考察了个体差异是否会影响学习者从这一策略中获益的程度。本范围综述旨在考察测试效应范式中有关个体差异的现有研究。共有 20 项研究调查了 20 个个体差异建构,并对其进行了分析。令人惊讶的是,大多数研究发现,相关的个体差异建构与测试效应的大小之间没有显著关系。我们将结合测试效应的理论解释和对教育实践的建议来讨论这一重要发现。
