The forward testing effect (FTE) refers to the finding that testing of previously studied information enhances memory for subsequently studied other information. Previous research demonstrated that the FTE is a robust phenomenon that generalizes across different materials and populations. The present study examined whether the FTE is robust under acute psychosocial encoding/retrieval stress. In each of two experimental conditions, participants studied three item lists in anticipation of final cumulative recall testing. In the testing condition, participants were tested immediately on lists 1 and 2, whereas in the restudy condition, they restudied lists 1 and 2. In both conditions, participants were tested immediately on list 3. Acute psychosocial stress was induced in participants prior to the encoding of item lists using the Trier social stress test for groups protocol. No stress was induced in a control group. Salivary cortisol, alpha amylase, and subjective stress were measured repeatedly to capture the biopsychological stress response. The results showed a significant FTE on list 3 recall, that is, testing of lists 1 and 2 enhanced the recall of list 3. No significant effect of stress on the FTE was observed, suggesting that the FTE is robust under acute psychosocial encoding/retrieval stress. The discussion provides suggestions for future research directions.

向前测试的效果对急性心理编码/检索压力没有影响。

前向测试效果（FTE）是指对先前研究的信息进行测试可以增强对后来研究的其他信息的记忆的发现。先前的研究表明，FTE是一种强大的现象，普遍存在于不同的材料和人群中。本研究检查了FTE在急性社会心理编码/检索压力下是否强健。在两个实验条件的每一个中，参与者研究了三个项目列表，以期进行最终的累积召回测试。在测试条件下，参与者立即在列表1和2上进行了测试，而在重新研究条件下，他们重新研究了列表1和2。在两种情况下，参与者都在列表3上进行了即时测试。在使用Trier小组社交压力测试协议对项目列表进行编码之前，会在参与者中引发急性心理压力。在对照组中没有引起压力。反复测量唾液皮质醇，α淀粉酶和主观应激，以捕获生物心理应激反应。结果显示列表3的召回有显着的FTE，也就是说，对列表1和2的测试增强了列表3的召回。未观察到压力对FTE的显着影响，表明FTE在急性社会心理编码/检索下很稳健。强调。讨论为将来的研究方向提供了建议。结果显示列表3的召回有显着的FTE，也就是说，对列表1和2的测试增强了列表3的召回。未观察到压力对FTE的显着影响，表明FTE在急性社会心理编码/检索下很稳健。强调。讨论为将来的研究方向提供了建议。结果显示列表3的召回有显着的FTE，也就是说，对列表1和2的测试增强了列表3的召回。未观察到压力对FTE的显着影响，表明FTE在急性社会心理编码/检索下很稳健。强调。讨论为将来的研究方向提供了建议。
