Taking a test before learning can enhance the long-term retention of the information that was tested, a phenomenon known as the pretesting effect. In the present research, we explored the consequences of pretesting on memory not only for the pretested information but also for nonpretested information. Across 5 experiments and various manipulations (the number of pretest questions, the relationship between pretested questions and nonpretested questions, whether participants expected nonpretested information to be tested, and the format of the to-be-learned material), a clear pattern of results emerged. Specifically, despite robust benefits of pretesting being observed for the learning of pretested information, in none of the 5 experiments did we find any evidence of pretesting affecting participants' ability to remember the information that was not itself pretested. This finding suggests that the benefits of pretesting may be relatively limited and may not necessarily extend beyond the enhanced learning of the specific information being pretested.

超出预测试的效果:未预测试的信息会发生什么?

在学习之前进行测试可以增强测试信息的长期保留,这种现象称为预测试效果。在当前的研究中,我们不仅对预测试的信息而且对非预测试的信息探索了预测试对存储器的影响。在5个实验和各种操作中(预测问题的数量,预测问题与未测问题之间的关系,参与者是否期望要测试的未经测验信息以及要学习的材料的格式),出现了清晰的结果模式。具体而言,尽管在学习预测试信息方面观察到了预测试的强大优势,但在这5个实验中,我们都没有发现任何预测试会影响参与者 能够记住未经预先测试的信息的能力。这一发现表明,预测试的好处可能相对有限,并且不一定扩展到增强对预测试的特定信息的学习上。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2019 APA,保留所有权利)。
