Testing Effect




In one study, participants were shown a ''stimulus word'' and a ''response word'', for either 10 second intervals together or in 5 second intervals of the stimulus word followed by another five seconds of the response word. Those in the second condition remembered significantly more word pairs, despite having been shown them for a shorter amount of time.
