Abstract

Using effective study strategies is important, but some of the most effective strategies are more difficult to implement. In the present study, we investigated knowledge and use of spaced studying and self-testing by college students and factors associated with greater use of these strategies. Replicating a previous study on spacing, the study expanded to also assess student knowledge and use of self-testing.

Desirable Difficulties: Study Strategies and Academic Performance

Using effective study strategies is important, but some of the most effective strategies are more difficult to implement. In the present study, we investigated knowledge and use of spaced studying and self-testing by college students and factors associated with greater use of these strategies. Replicating a previous study on spacing, the study expanded to also assess student knowledge and use of self-testing.
