Spacing effects in real‐world classroom vocabulary learning

Abstract: As a primary goal, educators often strive to maximize the amount of information pupils remember. In the lab, psychologists have found efficient memory strategies for retaining school-related materials. One such strategy is the spacing effect, a memory advantage that occurs when learning is distributed across time instead of crammed into a single study session. Spaced learning is not often explicitly utilized in actual classrooms, perhaps due to a paucity of research in applied settings and with school-aged chi… Show more

“…In contrast to earlier conducted studies (e.g., Goossens et al, 2012;Goossens, Camp, Verkoeijen, Tabbers, & Zwaan, 2014;Sobel et al, 2011), the experiment was fully integrated in the vocabulary learning curriculum. The children had to perform their own vocabulary learning exercises that were scheduled differently (for the distributed practice manipulation) and that were supplemented with additional exercises (for the repetition type manipulation).…”

“…Fourth, in contrast to studies performed with only one age group or grade (e.g., Goossens, Camp, Verkoeijen, & Tabbers, 2012;Goossens, Camp, Verkoeijen, Tabbers, & Zwaan, 2014;Sobel et al, 2011), we conducted experiments in Grades 2, 3, 4, and 6 to be able to generalize our results to different age groups.…”
