  • Retrieval-Based Learning: Active Retrieval Promotes Meaningful
    Current Directions in Psychological Science Retrieval-Based Learning: Active 21(3) 157 –163 © The Author(s) 2012 Reprints and permission: Retrieval Promotes Meaningful Learning sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0963721412443552 http://cdps.sagepub.com Jeffrey D. Karpicke Purdue University Abstract Retrieval is the key process for understanding learning and for promoting learning, yet retrieval is not often granted the central role it deserves. Learning is typically identified with the encoding or construction of knowledge, and retrieval is considered merely the assessment of learning that occurred in a prior experience. The retrieval-based learning perspective outlined here is grounded in the fact that all expressions of knowledge involve retrieval and depend on the retrieval cues available in a given context. Further, every time a person retrieves knowledge, that knowledge is changed, because retrieving knowledge improves one’s ability to retrieve it again in the future. Practicing retrieval does not merely produce rote, transient learning; it produces meaningful, long-term learning. Yet retrieval practice is a tool many students lack metacognitive awareness of and do not use as often as they should. Active retrieval is an effective but undervalued strategy for promoting meaningful learning. Keywords retrieval processes, learning, education, metacognition, meaningful learning If you know something, or if you have stored informa- understanding learning, coupled with the importance of active tion about an event from the distant past, and never use retrieval for producing learning, is referred to as retrieval- that information, never think of it, your brain is func- based learning. tionally equivalent to that of an otherwise identical brain that does not “contain” that information.

  • A Comparative Study of Rehearsal and Loci Methods in Learning Vocabulary in EFL Context
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 5, No. 7, pp. 1451-1457, July 2015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/tpls.0507.18 A Comparative Study of Rehearsal and Loci Methods in Learning Vocabulary in EFL Context Touran Ahour Department of English, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran Sepideh Berenji Department of Public and Basic Science, Osku Branch, Islamic Azad University, Osku, Iran Abstract—Effective learning in foreign language settings depends on acquiring a large number of vocabularies. This study intended to compare two vocabulary learning methods known as loci and rehearsal methods to find out which one leads to better retention and recalling of words. Employing a quasi-experimental research, 80 learners from two intact classes in Islamic Azad University, Osku Branch, Iran, were randomly selected as the experimental and control groups. For the purpose of vocabulary learning, the experimental group trained in loci method while rehearsal strategy training was used in the control group. At the end of each session of the treatment, multiple-choice vocabulary tests were used to measure whether the participants can recall the lexical items from their short-term memory. A delayed multiple-choice posttest of vocabulary was also used in order to compare vocabulary learning among two groups four weeks after the treatment. Implementing Independent Samples t-test, the results indicated that experimental group was better than control group in retention and recalling of lexical items in immediate posttest. It was also found that the loci method was more effective than rehearsal in permanency of lexical items in long term memory.

  • Marketing Applications of the Learning Process
    MARKETING APPLICATIONS OF THE LEARNING PROCESS Puiu Carmen University of Craiova, Faculty of Economy and Business Administration, Dr.Tr.Severin, str.Oituz nr.35, bl.2, sc.2, ap.3, email: [email protected], tel.0745087609 Abstract: Understanding consumer behaviour is an important task for marketers in their attempt to offer consumers greater satisfaction. Each individual consumer is influenced by his or her perceptions, motivations, learning, attitudes and personality. Learning refers to changes in a person’s behaviour caused by information and experience. Learning can occur through simple associations between a stimulus and a response, or as a result to a complex series of cognitive activities. There are two basic types of learning – conditioning (classical conditioning and instrumental conditioning) and cognitive learning Key words: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, cognitive learning, incidental learning, marketing wareout The learning process For an even more complete understanding of the mechanism behind the consumer’s behaviour, the variable known as the learning is of great importance. It is considered that learning is the base of the perception mechanism and of the consumer’s motivation to buy or not buy a certain product or service. The learning is essential for the process of consuming if we take into account the fact that the buying behaviour is a learnt behaviour. Learning may occur in situation of high involvement (when the consumer has reason to learn) or of low involvement (when the consumer is very poorly or not at all motivated to learn). Learning can represent a noticeable or unnoticeable change in a consumer’s behaviour due to the consequences of experience and it leads to the increase of the probability that a behavioural act to be repeated.

  • Learning to Dialogue: Towards a Critical Pedagogy for Public Finance and Accounting Management Practice
    Learning to Dialogue: Towards a Critical Pedagogy for Public Finance and Accounting Management Practice Dr Andrew Armitage Anglia Ruskin Unversity Journal of Finance and Management in Public Services. Volume 9 Number 2 1 Learning to Dialogue: Towards a critical pedagogy for public finance and accounting management practice Dr Andrew Armitage Abstract Critical accounting sees the world as socially constructed and intrinsically linked to organisational, social and political contexts. Whereas mainstream accounting historians study accounting history in terms of the progressive development of modern techniques and practices, a Foucauldian analysis challenges the very notion of its historical progress (Ryan et al, 2002). Hopwood (1987) in his comments concerning the archaeology of accounting systems has questioned the traditional notion of its historical progress showing how research into its practices has become ‘what it is not’. Miller and O’Leary (1987) have also discussed the ‘governable person’, showing how standard costing and budgeting are part of the complex social and organisational management practices that have developed to regulate individual action in the name of economic efficiency (Ryan et al, 2002). Further, the public finance and accountancy management professions have not adopted what might be termed a “critical stance” towards its practices, being trapped within a modernist target setting culture (Armitage and Keeble-Allen, 2009 and 2010). As such, I will discuss the context in which financial management and accountancy operates

    RICE UNIVERSITY Transfer of the Testing Effect: Just How Powerful Is It? by Gunes Avci A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: , A s· tant Professor, Chair Psychology ~wr.~1 Psychology Suzanne Kemmer, Associate Professor Linguistics HOUSTON, TX APRIL 2011 ABSTRACT Transfer of the testing effect: Just how powerful is it? by Gunes Avci Researchers have repeatedly showed that when students take a test on the studied materials, their retention of information increases on later exams. The memory gain produced by tests is called the testing effect. The testing effect has been demonstrated with different materials (e.g., word lists, prose), with different designs (e.g., within-subjects, between-subjects), with different age groups and with different settings (e.g., laboratory, classroom). This thesis offers a novel approach to the assessment of the testing effect: the transfer of the testing effect. Although research on the testing effect has been flourishing over the last decade, transfer of the effect has not been studied systematically. In this context, the transfer of the testing effect refers to whether a learner can utilize the memory gain produced by tests in different contexts. The present study examined the transfer of the testing effect in the temporal domain which refers to retention of the testing effect over a period of time (Experiment 1, Experiment 2, Experiment 3 and Experiment 4), the knowledge domain which refers to transfer of the testing effect across different levels of learning (Experiment 1, Experiment 2 and Experiment 3) and the modality domain which concerns how the format of the tests influence the testing effect (Experiment 4).

DESCRIPTORS Cognitive Style; Encoding (Psychology); Grade 2; *Learning Strategies; *Memory; *Metacognition; *Paired Associate Learning; Primary Education; Reck. 1 (Psychology); *Rote Learning; *Young Children ABSTRACT A relationship has been hypothesized between metamemory (the self-knowledge of memory processes that an individual can verbalize) and actual memory performance. To explore this relationship, a study was conducted, in partial replication of earlier studies, using the strategy choice paradigm for paired-associate learning (PAL) on a metamemory questionnaire. Metamemory subtests were administered to second graders (NP266) at the beginning of each session. Three PAL trials followed with each list comprising 10 known pairs presented over one study-test trial. The first two trials familiarized subjects with an effective sentence elaboration strategy and an ineffective rote repetition strategy. In the third trial, Choice, subjects freely selected a learning strategy. The results revealed that Elaborators (N.:44) on the Choice-trial learned three times more material than did Repeaters (2,122). The metamemorial knowledge of Elaborators concerning the acquisition process was
