Methods: Experiment 1

  • 69 undergraduate students at Kent State University were split up into two groups: massed and spacing
  • participants had to learn 40 word pairs while also reporting what study strategy they used (sentence generation, rote repetition, interactive imagery, other, none)
  • during the study trial, participants saw a word pair for six seconds, and then were asked what strategy they used
  • during the test trial, participants had to type the corresponding second word of the word pair when shown the first; participants also had to report what strategy they used to recall the word if any
  • the final test was conducted in exactly the same way as the test trial
