Article Synopsis
- Testing or retrieval practice is a highly effective learning strategy, and a recent study found that making judgments of learning (JOLs) after this practice could slightly improve learning outcomes.
- Three experiments were conducted to see if making JOLs actually enhances learning after testing, but all results showed no significant effect, both in lab and online settings.
- The lack of a positive effect from JOLs suggests they might not be a practical strategy to boost the benefits of testing for learning educational materials; possible reasons for these results are explored.
Recent studies have found that making judgments of learning (JOLs) for verbal materials changes memory itself, a form of reactivity effect on memory. The current study explores the reactivity effect on visual (image) memory and tests the potential role of enhanced learning engagement in this effect. Experiment 1 employed object image pairs as stimuli and observed a positive reactivity effect on memory for visual details.
