Understanding the complex relationship between sleep and memory is a major challenge in neuroscience. Many studies on memory consolidation in humans suggest that sleep triggers offline memory processes, resulting in less forgetting of declarative memory and performance stabilization in non-declarative memory. However, an increasing number of contra...

The 2022 EUROCALL conference was held in Reykjavik on 17-19 August 2022 as a fully online event hosted by the Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute for Foreign Languages, the University of Iceland, and the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies. The conference theme was Intelligent CALL, granular systems and learner data. This theme reflects the...

The distributed practice effect, which concerns the impact of the organization of learning time on the retention of repeated information learned, has inspired a large body of empirical research. Such research has generally shown, among other things, that longer temporal intervals between learning episodes (spaced learning) result in greater ultimat...

Understanding the complex relationship between sleep and memory is one of the biggest challenges in neuroscience. Thousands of studies on memory consolidation suggest that sleep triggers offline memory processes, resulting in less forgetting in declarative memory and performance improvement in non-declarative memory. However, an increasing number o...

Inconsistent results have been obtained in experiments comparing the effects on retention of expanding, contracting, and uniform practice schedules, in which the spacing between successive practice sessions progressively increases, progressively decreases, or remains constant, respectively. In the present study, we experimentally assessed an appare...

Reading while listening to texts (RWL) is a promising way to improve the learning benefits provided by a reading experience. In an exploratory study, we investigated the effect of synchronizing the highlighting of words (visual) with their auditory (speech) counterpart during a RWL task. Forty French children from 3rd to 5th grade read short storie...

Both repeated practice and sleep improve long-term retention of information. The assumed common mechanism underlying these effects is memory reactivation, either on-line and effortful or off-line and effortless. In the study reported here, we investigated whether sleep-dependent memory consolidation could help to save practice time during relearnin...

This article reports the use of a karaoke technique to drive the visual attention span (VAS) of subjects reading a text while listening to the text spelled aloud by a reading tutor. We tested the impact of computer-assisted synchronous reading (S+) that emphasizes words when they are uttered, vs. non-synchronous reading (S-) in a reading while list...

La memorisation induite par la repetition est plus solide lorsque les occurrences d’une information sont separees par un long espacement temporel (c’est-a-dire, distribuees) plutot que lorsqu’elles sont rapprochees dans le temps (c’est-a-dire, massees). Nous proposons une synthese theorique de cet effet de pratique distribuee a la lumiere de travau...

Objectif Le proverbe selon lequel « c’est en forgeant que l’on devient forgeron » illustre le fait que les apprentissages sont favorisés par la pratique. Lorsqu’un matériel est appris de manière répétée, chaque séance d’apprentissage est plus facile que la précédente, ce qui indique une économie au réapprentissage. Compte tenu de l’effet bénéfique...

To download the paper : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211949315000022 Education ideally should induce learning that lasts for years and more. A wealth of research indicates that, to achieve long-lasting retention, information must be practiced and/or tested repeatedly, with repeated practice well distributed over time. In this...

Practice takes many forms, but they all entail repeated learning opportunities. The effec- tiveness of practice is well known to depend on how these learning opportunities are distributed over time, but an explanation of this phenomenon has eluded researchers for over a century. In this chapter, we examined the relevant research literature on distr...

Few studies have investigated how scheduling repeated studies of the same material over several days influences its subsequent retention. The study-phase retrieval hypothesis predicts that, under these circumstances, expanding intervals between repetitions will promote the greatest likelihood that the participant will be reminded of previous occurr...

Very few studies have examined the influence of schedules of repetitions across multiple days (e.g., Tsai, 192728. Tsai , L.-S. 1927. The relation of retention to the distribution of relearning. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 10: 30–39. [CrossRef]View all references). Three temporal schedules of four presentations of pseudoword/word pairs ove...

La façon dont une information se répète au cours du temps a une influence sur la façon dont nous nous souviendrons de cette information. Les recherches en psychologie ont mis en évidence l’effet de pratique distribuée, selon lequel on retient mieux les informations qui se répètent avec des intervalles inter-répétitions longs que celles qui se répèt...
