Description: Research promotes frequent quizzing, as well as the use of feedback, to enhance learning. We assessed a method that combines these techniques known as mastery quizzing (i.e., taking quizzes with feedback until the learner achieves a perfect score). Across four experiments, we explored how mastery quizzing contributes to learners’ retention of information and whether this method is more effective than traditional quizzing. Overall, results supported mastery quizzing as a superior strategy relative to standard quizzing techniques, even when controlling for feedback and using longer retention intervals (i.e., 2 days).
