Long-Term Memory for Knowledge Learned in School.
Semb, George B.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n2 p305-16 Jun 1993
Three experiments (initial total sample of 190 college students) examined students' long-term retention of knowledge learned in college courses. Results of all experiments suggest that students remember a great deal of what they learn up to 11 months later and that tutoring has positive effects on recall by tutors. (SLD)
