ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of The Science of Learning, Jade Pearce explores the power of Retrieval Practice for boosting learning and memory. We explore research showing how testing yourself improves retention more than restudying, why spacing and effortful retrieval strengthen memory, and how subtle factors like hint strength influence its effectiveness. Tune in for insights and practical takeaways you can use in the classroom today.
