My talk will focus on the mechanisms underlying the benefits of testing. I will talk about the process of retrieving a memory, the pros and cons of making errors while learning, and the possibility that retrieval is beneficial because it recruits related information and integrates it into a memory.

Do We Need A Revolution? Open Access and the Future of Scholarship

Sponsored by:
College Libraries and Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
