Supports (2)
| Claim | Basis |
|---|---|
| C0 | Delayed tests (2 days, 1 week): testing beat restudy; C0 ledger 2026-09-08 entries cite this study. |
| K06 (candidate) | Note carries the bank kill sentence behind K06 (group K06); no change in review |
Limits (2)
| Claim | Basis |
|---|---|
| C0 | At a 5-minute test restudy was better; C0 ledger 2026-09-08 (weakened) added the immediate-test bound. |
| C1 | C1 ledger 2026-09-14 (weakened): Exp. 1 gates the contrast on study exposure, not item-level retrieval; Bound added. |
Review state: first-pass draft, pending human review.

Metadata
- ID:
LEARN-004 - Tier: RCT
- N / design: experimentell artikel (2 experiment; prose passages)
- Population: vuxen / HE (överförbar mekanism till skola)
- Subject: Test-Enhanced Learning: Taking Memory Tests Improves Long-Term Retention
Finding
- Efter 5 min: restudy ≥ testing (kortsiktig prestation).
- Efter 2 dagar / 1 vecka: prior testing >> restudy för retention — trots att restudy-gruppen kände sig säkrare.
- Testing effekt även utan feedback i dessa experiment.
- Central metaminnespoäng: confidence följer flyt, inte lagring.
Mechanism
Test-enhanced learning: retrieval under study förbättrar senare retention mer än ytterligare presentation.
Limits
Korta prose-passager; HE; fulltext ej i banken (köpkandidat).
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.
