Retrieval practice with flashcards produces better long-term retention than rereading notes.

Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that retrieval practice with flashcards produces better long-term retention than rereading notes?

Yes. A peer-reviewed review states that testing or retrieval practice is superior to re-study for promoting long-term retention, and several other studies report retrieval-practice benefits for retention over study or rereading, though most compare retrieval with study generally rather than flashcards versus notes specifically.
