AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spaced Retrieval (SR) is a treatment approach developed to facilitate recall of information by individuals with dementia. Essentially an errorless learning procedure that can be used to facilitate recall of a variety of information, SR gradually increases the interval between correct recall of target items.

Detailed explanation-2: -“One of the easiest ways to incorporate retrieval practice into learning and teaching is via low-stakes tests or quizzes, ” Boser writes. Quizzes and practice tests help students gauge how well they understand recently learned material, and identify areas of strength and areas where they need to grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -HOW DO I IMPLEMENT RETRIEVAL PRACTICE? First, use retrieval practice to engage all students, not just one student being called on. Second, keep in mind that retrieval practice should be used as a learning strategy, not an assessment opportunity. Third, always provide feedback.

Detailed explanation-4: -They found a much greater memory advantage when students used spaced retrieval practice compared to using retrieval practice in one sitting. One reason for this is that spacing these sessions out allows memory traces to be reactivated, making it more likely that the information goes into students’ long-term memory.
