ClaimBasis
C0Practice testing rated high utility, rereading low; C0 ledger 2026-09-08 (survived).
K06 (candidate)Note carries the bank kill sentence behind K06 (group K06); no change in review

Limits (1)

ClaimBasis
C0C0 ledger 2026-09-08 (weakened twice): the advantage needs corrective feedback and repeated successful retrievals.

Review state: first-pass draft, pending human review.

Finding

  1. Hög utility: practice testing (retrieval) och distributed practice (spacing) — bred generalisering över ålder/förmåga/material/kontext.
  2. Måttlig utility: elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, interleaved practice (lovande men mer begränsad evidens 2013).
  3. Låg utility: summarization, highlighting/underlining, keyword mnemonic, imagery for text, rereading — vanliga elevstrategier som ger svaga/inkonsekventa vinster.
  4. Budskap: byt om läsning/markering mot självtest + utspridd repetition.

Mechanism

Utility ranking: practice testing och distributed practice ger starkast stöd för långsiktigt lärande jämfört med rereading/highlighting.

Limits

Review t.o.m. ~2012; interleaving har sedan stärkts (LEARN-006). Inte en klassisk meta med pooled g för alla tekniker.

This claim dies if …

Meta där retrieval/spacing/interleaving förlorar mot reread/massed under ekologisk klassrumstid med delayed closed-book.

Swedish implication

Start retrieval/spacing/interleaving i planering; measure delayed closed-book, inte bara lektionstest.
