Do tests only measure learning, or can they also promote learning? Should students review/practise the material they are trying to learn soon after they encounter the material or should they wait a while? During practice, should items of the same type/topic
be grouped together or should they be interspersed among items of other types/topics? Sean Kang (Education) will talk about how basic research in cognitive psychology has yielded principles about human learning and memory that have practical implications for
instruction.
