Appearance and Reality: Does a Recognition Test Really Improve Subsequent Recall and Recognition?
Mandler, George; Rabinowitz, Jan C.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v7 n2 p79-90 Mar 1981
That additional exposure to memorial material improves subsequent retrieval probabilities was explored. The effect of a recognition test on subsequent recall and recognition of categorized lists was studied. Prior recognition tests increased recall of original items, but also increased intrusions. Similarly, prior exposure increased hit rates and false alarms. (Author/RD)
