Abstract

Prior testing potentiates new learning, an effect known as test-potentiated new learning (TPNL). Research using lists of related words has established that testing, by free recall, also increases semantic clustering of later recall output. It has been suggested that this is evidence that testing induces a strategy change in encoding and retrieval towards greater conceptual organisation. The current research evaluated whether this conceptual strategy change explains TPNL in three experiments. We found a) that a retrieval task that did not increase semantic clustering (list discrimination) consistently produced TPNL, and b) that factors (word-relatedness and list structure) that influenced the amount of semantic clustering had no effect on the magnitude of TPNL. These results suggest that conceptual strategy change is neither necessary nor sufficient for TPNL and is more likely to be an effect of testing, rather than a cause of TPNL.

表回忆中测试增强新学习的概念策略改变机制评价
先前的测试增强了新的学习,这种效应被称为测试增强的新学习(TPNL)。使用相关单词列表的研究已经证实,通过自由回忆的测试,也增加了后来回忆输出的语义聚类。有人认为,这是测试导致编码和检索策略发生变化的证据,有利于更大的概念组织。目前的研究在三个实验中评估了这种概念策略的改变是否解释了TPNL。我们发现a)不增加语义聚类(列表辨别)的检索任务始终产生TPNL, b)影响语义聚类数量的因素(词相关性和列表结构)对TPNL的大小没有影响。这些结果表明,概念策略的改变既不是TPNL的必要条件,也不是充分条件,更可能是测试的结果,而不是TPNL的原因。

期刊介绍: Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes. Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation. The journal generally favors articles that provide multiple experiments. In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published. The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech. Research Areas include: • Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing • Linguistics • Neuropsychology.
