Review Effects of Inserted Questions on Learning from Prose.
Sefkow, Susan B.; Myers, Jerome L.
American Educational Research Journal, v17 n4 p435-47 Win 1980
Two experiments were performed to determine whether questions inserted after prose passages initiate reviews which facilitate retention of the information in memory. Results suggest that the backward review is not attributed to a retrieval phenomenon but to a strengthening of memory traces at the time of the probe. (Author/GK)
