Study Groups

Contrast A
Feedback vs no feedback with massed trials
Feedback with massed trials
The participant receives feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for one word are provided before moving to the next word in each session.
No feedback with massed trials
The participant does not receive feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for one word are provided before moving to the next word in each session.
No teaching control
The words in this set are not taught, only assessed.
Contrast B
Feedback vs no feedback with spaced trials
Feedback with spaced trials
The participant receives feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for each word are interspersed with one another (e.g., an exposure for word 1, then one for word 3, then one for word 2, etc.) in each session.
No feedback with spaced trials
The participant does not receive feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for each word are interspersed with one another (e.g., an exposure for word 1, then one for word 3, then one for word 2, etc.) in each session.
No teaching control
The words in this set are not taught, only assessed.
Contrast C
Spaced vs massed trials without feedback
No feedback with massed trials
The participant does not receive feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for one word are provided before moving to the next word in each session.
No feedback with spaced trials
The participant does not receive feedback on their accuracy completing retrieval practice tasks. Exposures for each word are interspersed with one another (e.g., an exposure for word 1, then one for word 3, then one for word 2, etc.) in each session.
