What type of practice involves reloading or reconstructing components of learning from long-term memory?
Massed practice
Interleaved practice
Blocked practice
Spaced practice
Which type of practice strengthens both learning and cues for fast retrieval by allowing some forgetting to occur between sessions?
Blocked practice
Interleaved practice
Massed practice
Spaced practice
What is the benefit of retrieval practice that is performed at different times and in different contexts?
Linking new associations to the material
Creating illusions of mastery
Strengthening short-term memory
Decreasing versatility in applying knowledge
What are mental models in the context of learning?
Brain apps that fuse interrelated ideas into a meaningful whole
Short-term memory loops
Illusory sense of mastery
Transitory fluency gained through practice
How does interleaved exposure help in learning concepts?
Hinders the ability to learn commonalities
Decreases the ability to notice differences
Produces illusions of learning
Strengthens skills of discrimination and induction
What is the main difference between spaced practice and massed practice?
Spaced practice involves mindless repetition
Massed practice is more effective for long-term retention
Spaced practice is easier than massed practice
Spaced practice requires reloading from long-term memory, while massed practice loops through short-term memory
How does effortful recall benefit learning?
The more effort required, the more the act of recalling benefits learning
Effortful recall weakens connections to prior knowledge
Effortful recall is not as effective as massed practice
Effortful recall does not trigger reconsolidation
What is the purpose of creating mental models in learning?
To weaken cues for fast retrieval
To create illusions of mastery
To reinforce short-term memory
To form a meaningful whole from interrelated ideas or motor skills
How does interleaved practice help in boosting learning?
Interleaved practice strengthens short-term memory
Interleaved practice hinders the ability to notice differences
Interleaved practice makes learning easier
Heightened sensitivity to similarities and differences leads to encoding more complex representations
What is the benefit of broadening mastery through varied practice?
It builds interconnected networks of knowledge that support mastery
It decreases the cues for retrieving knowledge
It limits the versatility of applying learning
It strengthens illusions of mastery
