Front 1

1.Practice testing

Back 1

self-testing or taking practice tests on

to-be-learned material.

Front 2

2. Distributed practice:

Back 2

implementing a schedule of practice

that spreads out study activities over time.

students will retain knowledge and skills for a longer period

of time when they distribute their practice than when they mass

it,even if they use the same amount of time massing and disributing their practice.

3. Interleaved practice:

Back 3

implementing a schedule of practice

that mixes different kinds of problems, or a schedule of

study that mixes different kinds of material, within a single

study session. Interleaved practice is similar to distributed practice in that it involves spacing one’s practice across time, but it specifically refers to practicing different types of problems across time.

interleaving would involve solving one

problem from each type (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and

dividing) before solving a new problem from each type.

4.Elaborative interrogation:

Back 4

generating an explanation for

why an explicitly stated fact or concept is true.

If the student were using elaborative interrogation while reading, she would try to explain why this fact is true. trying to elaborate on why a fact may be true, even when the explanations are not entirely on the mark, can still benefit understanding and retention

5.Self-explanation:

Back 5

explaining how new information is

related to known information, or explaining steps taken

during problem solving. final test performance was three times better

Front 6

10.Imagery for text:

Back 6

attempting to form mental images of text

materials while reading or listening

Front 7

9.Keyword mnemonic:

Back 7

using keywords and mental imagery

to associate verbal materials.

Front 8

8.Summarization:

Back 8

writing summaries (of various lengths) of

to-be-learned texts.
