Effects Of Spaced Learning And Test On Judge Of Learning

Judgment of learning is an important form of metamemory monitoring judgment, which is a predictability judgment of the recollect in the later recall test done by the individuals after learning. When Individuals learn new material, they make the assessments and judgements how they grasp the items in the same time; that is JOL, namely. Metamemory monitoring, provides a basis for the subsequent metamemory control process, such as the time allocation, whether re-learning or not, and so on. As a result, the accuracy of monitoring is extremly important. As for JOL, how to improve the accuracy of JOL makes one of the core contents of the JOL study. There are many factors which effect JOL and the accuracy of JOL, including the intrinsic properties, such as the trait of learning materia, the extrinsic properities, such as learning condition and coding strategy, the perceptual experience when learning, individual characteristics, problem framework and so on. Among these, certain learning conditions, such as spaced learning and test, are extrinsic factors which can be manipulated easyly. They can make a critical impact on the memory and metamemory.The study includeed two experiment designs in order to improve memory effect and metamemory monitoring accuracy. Experiment1took the form of two-factor mixed design, investigate the effect of spaced learning made on JOL and the accuracy of JOL, massed learning as a reference. Expriment1was looked forward to verify spaced learning can promote not only the recall performance, but also the accuracy of JOL in some degree. The experiment results show that, a) Spaced learning and the ease of item made a interaction upon JOL and relative accuracy of JOL. The spaced learning reduced the over confidence in immediately judge of learning, and improve the accuracy of JOL for hard items, b) Spaced learning improved recall performance significantly. Experiment2was a two-factor mixed design. Based on the spaced learning effect in experiment1, experiment2pulled in test effect and explored how spaced learning with test impact the judge of learning and the accuracy of JOL. The result of experiment2showed, a) Test before repetitive learning had the function of retrieval and could enhance memory traces. b)The pre-test before repetitive learning could significantly improve the relative accuracy of JOL. c) We should distinguish different extrinsic clues; spaced learning and pre-test were different extrinsic clues.
