question
familiar with the science of learning, one of your professors gives a short quiz worth very few points every monday to help their students recall the previous week’s material before they have to recall much more content on a midterm exam. testing students in this way relies on which learning technique?
select an answer
a. interleaved practice
b. self - explanation
c. retrieval - based learning
d. elaborative interrogation

Explanation:

• Interleaved practice mixes different topics during study, which does not match the weekly recall quizzes.
• Self-explanation involves learners explaining concepts to themselves, not the professor's quiz approach.
• Retrieval-based learning (retrieval practice) involves actively recalling information from memory, which is exactly what weekly quizzes do to strengthen memory before a midterm.
• Elaborative interrogation focuses on asking "why" questions to deepen understanding, not the recall-focused quizzes described.

Answer:

C. retrieval-based learning
