{"pk":49610,"title":"Some Assembly Required: Learning Facts in Isolation Limits Inferences","subtitle":null,"abstract":"When learning with self-testing alone, will a learner make inferences between the tested items? This study examines whether self-testing's benefits extend beyond isolated facts to support broader connections between the facts. Comparing self-testing to self-explanation (a strategy known to facilitate inferential learning), we find that while self-testing participants show superior recall of individual facts, they perform significantly worse at making connections between those facts.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Concepts and categories; Instruction and teaching; Language Comprehension; Learning; Representation"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3m55z785","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Benjamin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Motz","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""},{"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"","last_name":"Chinni","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""},{"first_name":"Audrey","middle_name":"G","last_name":"Barriball","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University Bloomington","department":""},{"first_name":"Danielle","middle_name":"","last_name":"McNamara","name_suffix":"","institution":"Arizona State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49610/galley/37572/download/"}]}
