The forward testing effect: Interim testing enhances inductive learning

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition

Published in: Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Volume 44, Issue 3, 485-492 Abstract “Induction refers to the process in which people generalize their previous experience when making uncertain inferences about the environment that go beyond direct experience. Here we show that interim tests strongly enhance inductive learning. Participants studied the painting styles of […]

Evidence for a confidence–accuracy relationship in memory for same- and cross-race faces

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

Published in: The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 12, 2518-2534 Abstract “Discrimination accuracy is usually higher for same- than for cross-race faces, a phenomenon known as the cross-race effect (CRE). According to prior research, the CRE occurs because memories for same- and cross-race faces rely on qualitatively different processes. However, according to a
