Testing the primary and convergent retrieval model of recall: Recall practice produces faster recall success but also faster recall failure.

摘要: The primary and convergent retrieval (PCR) model assumes that the act of successful recall not only boosts associations between item cues but additionally strengthens within (i.e., features an item), speeding rate information from memory. latter effect is termed intra-item learning a unique benefit practice "testing effect"). Prior work confirmed prediction produces faster subsequent than restudy even if accuracy higher following restudy. current study replicated this result, also examined downside practice: after failure to during practice, participants will be in their on test. This was multisession cued experiment collected latency measurements for no or restudy, with immediate delayed final linear ballistic accumulator fit distributions, comparison determined these effects reflect differences drift rates, as predicted by PCR model.
