Testing the Memory Threshold

Testing is said to enhance learners ' memory . In proving this hypothesis experiments are made that follows the scientific methods . Starting with identifying the problem which is , does regular testing develop the memory of a pupil

Once the problem was identified , and data were collected , testing is next . Several studies were made dealing with the same theory . Testing enhances memory (Roediger Karpicke , 2006 . From those studies , this experiment was based . There are three groups of 20 high school students with an equal number of boys and girls is the scope of the study

because they are commonly involve to testing , all are coming from the same year level therefore with the same age , having the same instructor in history subject thus assuring that all variables are kept constant except for the testing process because it is the test effect we are trying to proved thus making it as the independent variables . The test will last for 45 minutes one day per group to ensure that takers will have the same condition when they take the same test

On the first day the 0-test group will be given the chapter from the history lesson . The class will then be instructed that they have 30 minutes to study the text and will be given a 30 items identification type of items test at the end of the thirty minutes . On the second day the 3-test will also be given with the same text but they will be tested every ten minutes . Same procedure...
