Through the combined principles of focus, repetition, recall, and conscious effort, retrieval
learning promotes the long term storage of data. Such principles supply a driving force that propels
students into an ongoing learning process that stimulates the brain on a neural level and with that
ongoing stimulation improves the retaining of information.
Retrieval learning can prove to be challenging, but through that challenge compels students
to focus their full attention on the subject at hand. When one makes a conscious effort to concentrate
on a specific task they eliminate potential distractions that can interfere with their encoding of
accurate information. An example of this is when I attempted to watch Netflix while studying …show more content…
This shows that the more challenging exercise required further concentration on the
monkeys parts in order for them to successfully complete the task. The more concentration one
applies to an undertaking the better the chances they will have to retain information from it.
Whenever we process new information, such as the definition of a derivative, certain
networks of neurons are activated and fire in response. Through the process of retrieval learning
explicit networks of neurons are being activated by corresponding information that one is processing
and retrieving multiple times. It is the repetitive firing of these neurons that strengthens networking
between them and allows for the more efficient storage and recall of information. In repeated study a
student can read a chapter four or five times without going through the crucial stage of recall, which
forces neurons into action so that they might retrieve needed information. Retrieval study in the
other hand goes through the stage of recall each time it is implemented, activating neuron networks
so that they might become further reinforced and retrieve data more accurately and efficiently.
Retrieval learning identifies gaps in conceptualization. In retrieval study students go …show more content…
Retrieval study allows students to identify information that they have not
explicitly learned and will therefore show the areas upon which to focus their attention so that they
might recognize and understand that information for the next time they must retrieve it.
The Retrieval Practices v1 and v2 in the Cognitive Reading Homework specifically compare
the method of retrieval study to others, such as; repeated study, study once, and sessions of studying
with varying numbers of recall tests. In the first study, v1, students in the repeated and study once
groups gave higher prediction scores for the final test than the retrieval group. But, in reality the
student in the retrieval study ended up with higher scores on the final test than the other two. This
experiment is further evidence that repeated study can give a student false confidence in their
learning while the challenge of retrieval study may have not lead them to feel as confident, they
ultimately learned more resulting in higher test scores. In Retrieval Practice v2 students who studied
in the STTT session , while they did not score as highly on the final retention test 5 minutes
