Student Study Techniques and the Generation Effect.

Foos, Paul W.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n4 p567-76 Dec 1994

In two experiments involving 260 college students, the generation effect, which occurs when individuals remember materials they have generated better than materials generated by others, was studied. Results support the generation effect and indicate that it occurs in a natural setting but only for test items targeted by generating students. (SLD)
