Pracana, Clara, Ed.; Wang, Michael, Ed. – Online Submission, 2021
This book contains a compilation of papers presented at the International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends (InPACT) 2021, organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (W.I.A.R.S.), that this year has been converted into a fully Virtual Conference as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic.…

Rehearsal Strategies Can Enlarge or Diminish the Spacing Effect: Pure versus Mixed Lists and Encoding Strategy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Delaney, Peter F.; Verkoeijen, Peter P. J. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Using 5 experiments, the authors explored the dependency of spacing effects on rehearsal patterns. Encouraging rehearsal borrowing produced opposing effects on mixed lists (containing both spaced and massed repetitions) and pure lists (containing only one or the other), magnifying spacing effects on mixed lists but diminishing spacing effects on…

Metacognitive Control and Strategy Selection: Deciding to Practice Retrieval during Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Karpicke, Jeffrey D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
Retrieval practice is a potent technique for enhancing learning, but how often do students practice retrieval when they regulate their own learning? In 4 experiments the subjects learned foreign-language items across multiple study and test periods. When items were assigned to be repeatedly tested, repeatedly studied, or removed after they were…

Using a Model to Compute the Optimal Schedule of Practice
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pavlik, Philip I.; Anderson, John R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2008
By balancing the spacing effect against the effects of recency and frequency, this paper explains how practice may be scheduled to maximize learning and retention. In an experiment, an optimized condition using an algorithm determined with this method was compared with other conditions. The optimized condition showed significant benefits with…

From Poor Performance to Success under Stress: Working Memory, Strategy Selection, and Mathematical Problem Solving under Pressure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beilock, Sian L.; DeCaro, Marci S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
Two experiments demonstrate how individual differences in working memory (WM) impact the strategies used to solve complex math problems and how consequential testing situations alter strategy use. In Experiment 1, individuals performed multistep math problems under low- or high-pressure conditions and reported their problem-solving strategies.…
