Whitt, Emma; Haselgrove, Mark – Psychology Teaching Review, 2023
Using games in a classroom setting to help engagement and learning is becoming popular, but controlled investigations into the benefits of games are few. Games are potentially a way to incorporate retrieval practice into a class and garner subsequent benefits to memory. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a board game assisted…

Francis, Andrea P.; Wieth, Mareike B.; Zabel, Kevin L.; Carr, Thomas H. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2020
This quasi-experimental study investigated the role of prior psychology knowledge and in-class retrieval activity in the testing effect. Undergraduate introductory psychology students (N = 53) from two classes at a small liberal arts college practiced retrieving information in class with multiple-choice quizzing and concept mapping. Prior…

Chia, Philip Suciadi – Journal of Research on Christian Education, 2022
One of the challenges that students face is how to remember and preserve information from their teachers accurately over an extended period. Shedding a light on memory retention--both accuracy and longevity--is the Old Testament, which emphasizes the effectiveness of repetition as a learning process. This approach to learning by repetition…

Barenberg, Jonathan; Dutke, Stephan – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2022
This study investigated the effects of retrieval practice on the cognitive and metacognitive learning outcome in a psychology lecture at university. In a within-subjects design, N = 180 students completed an intermediate knowledge test in the 9th session and a final test in the 13th session of the semester. Both tests assessed students'…

Shobe, Elizabeth – Teaching of Psychology, 2022
Background: Findings from the testing effect literature suggest several ways to achieve testing effects in an authentic classroom, but few consider instructor workload, equity, and resources that determine feasibility and sustainability of testing effect methods in practice. Objective: To determine elements and procedures from the testing effect…

Begeny, John C. – School Psychology International, 2019
Scholarship in school psychology has continued to document the need and importance of contextually relevant intervention and prevention research, but this type of research remains relatively scarce. Also problematic, this type of research is even more limited in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries. This…

Schwieren, Juliane; Barenberg, Jonathan; Dutke, Stephan – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2017
The testing effect is a robust empirical finding in the research on learning and instruction, demonstrating that taking tests during the learning phase facilitates later retrieval from long-term memory. Early evidence came mainly from laboratory studies, though in recent years applied educational researchers have become increasingly interested in…

Erol Ozcelik; Ismahan Arslan-Ari – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Several studies in multimedia learning have examined the effect of emotional design. Recent findings from cognitive psychology provide opportunities for educators to use more direct ways of manipulating emotion to enhance learning. These studies have shown that emotionally arousing words and pictures are remembered better than neutral ones.…

Ruiz, Marcos; Contreras, María José – Open Praxis, 2017
Psychology undergraduates can benefit from direct experiences with laboratory procedures of psychological phenomena. However, they are not always available for students within a distance education program. The present study included students from the Spanish National Distance Education University (UNED) that were to take part in a Basic Psychology…

Lawson, Timothy J. – College Teaching, 2022
Cognitive psychologists have found that taking practice tests improves students' learning, and some claim that tests that require recall are more effective than those that require recognition. This study examined whether recognition (i.e., multiple-choice) quizzes were as effective as cued-recall (i.e., fill-in-the-blank) quizzes for improving…

Russell, Sophie; Bird, Amy L.; McNamara, Josephine; Herbert, Jane S. – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study examines how parents' mental health symptoms, emotion regulation and mindfulness relate to parent-child reminiscing conversations about past emotional events. Fifty-four children aged 8-12 years and their parents were recruited from a child psychology clinic (n = 28) and local schools (n = 26). Dyad's reminiscing conversations were…

McKenzie, Wendy; Roodenburg, John – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
The importance of the role of peer and self-assessment in developing formative and sustainable assessment practice in higher education is increasingly becoming evident. PeerWise is an online software tool that engages students in contributing to their own and others' learning by authoring, answering and providing feedback on multiple choice…

Leslie, Celine; Hutchinson, Amanda D. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2018
This observational, cross-sectional study examined students' retrospective recall of emotional distress when studying sensitive topics in psychology, and whether hardiness had a mediated pathway to emotional distress through a mental health condition (MHC). Psychology undergraduates (155 women, 34 men) from South Australian universities completed…

Strelan, Peter – Teaching of Psychology, 2022
Background: The concept of reliability is central to conducting--and understanding--research in Psychology. Students' understanding of concepts are strengthened when they learn by applying concepts. Objective: This article describes initial evidence of an activity for teaching reliability. Method: Students watched a short video of a staged bank…

Batsell, W. Robert, Jr.; Perry, Jennifer L.; Hanley, Elizabeth; Hostetter, Autumn B. – Teaching of Psychology, 2017
The testing effect is the enhanced retention of learned information by individuals who have studied and completed a test over the material relative to individuals who have only studied the material. Although numerous laboratory studies and simulated classroom studies have provided evidence of the testing effect, data from a natural class setting…
