Results—responses were more accurate for words that had been generated
Conclusions—supports levels of processing approach
Auto reference effect - Answer Information retrieval is superior when the learners relate the material

Kirker, Kuiper and Rogers' auto reference effect experiment—Task, results, conclusions - Answer Task
1—Participants are shown a list of adjectives and are asked if they apply to them
2—Asked to recall words
Results—recall was better for words that the subjects said applied to themselves
Conclusions—supports levels of processing approach
Cohen, Conway and Stanhope's long term retention experiment—Independent variables, task, results -
Answer Independent variables—retrieval intervals
Task
1—Took cognitive psychology class
2—Asked to recall subject matter learned previously
3—Specify confidence rating
Results—confidence ratings decreased with time but actual remembered material remained steady
Massed learning - Answer When the study time devoted to any given item is not subject to any
interruptions of the intervening items or intervening time
, Distributed learning - Answer When a measurable time lag separates study episodes for a given time
1—Learning condition: Massed (no inter study interval) vs distributed (inter study interval)
2—Retention interval (time between learning and recall): 1 vs 8 days
Task
1—Given a list of adjectives paired with nonsense syllables
2—Participants must learn to generate the adjectives from the nonsense syllables
Results
1—No difference in conditions after 1 day
2—After 8 days, distributed practice led to superior recall
Conclusion—taking breaks helps with learning
Capeda, Pashler, Rohrer, Vul and Wixted's and inter study and retention interval experiment—
Independent variables, task, conclusion - Answer Independent variables
1—Length of inter study interval
2—Length of retention interval
Task
1—Given obscure trivia facts
2—Tested recall and recognition
Conclusion—maximum recall when inter study interval is several months and retention interval is several
years
