We're enhancing our mastery system to boost long-term retention, improve study habits, and deepen learning insights. This update benefits long-term learning by encouraging well-timed study intervals, sustaining motivation, and supporting mastery.

Our research shows that some problems are forgotten faster, highlighting the need for adaptive learning. Partnering with @noordhoff , we tested Tafeltrainer with 500+ students, finding it effectively improves times table mastery. Read more: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/wg…

We will participate in the @OEBconference on November 27-29, 2024, and we are also thrilled to join @Eduvation_DE at the @didactaDIGITAL on February 20-24, 2025. We are excited to showcase MemoryLab's latest solutions and to work together to shape the future of learning.

At #CogSci2024, Jori Blankestijn, a developer and UX researcher, presented a poster on using a data-driven approach to enhance learning. He collaborated with @univgroningen and @noordhoff to improve education through innovative, data-driven methods.

Last week we had another fun team activity! We hit the courts to play some Padel at Peakz Padel. It was exiting to see everyone bringing their A-game and cheering each other on! After all the action, we had some well deserved dinner. Here's to more memorable moments!

The testing effect—the phenomenon where retrieving information from memory enhances its later recall—has been extensively studied in both fundamental and applied research. This weeks research commentary by our researcher @thomas_wilschut. The full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2011.1…

@BArslan_CogSci (ETS EMEA) gave a great presentation at last month's #TeaP conference in Regensburg, Germany, in the context of the new Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN)-funded collaboration between MemoryLab, ETS EMEA, and the @univgroningen

"Despite more than a century of research, there is still debate about the shape of the forgetting curve". Our new research commentary by our senior researcher @mavdvelde The full paper is available at: doi.org/10.1016/j.jmp.2010.0…

Last Friday we attended the ‘Nationaal Congres Engels’ in Ede. Together with team #SteppingStones @noordhoff we had a great day with lots of interesting conversations about the use of ‘SlimStampen’ and the added value of adaptive learning in education.

The prospect of a high-stakes test can reduce the positive effects of retrieval practice on long-term retention. This weeks research commentary by our senior researcher @mavdvelde.

MemoryLab will be well-represented at the #TeaP 2024 conference for experimental psychologists in Regensburg, Germany. (1/4)

We're thrilled to announce that we've won the challenge for personalised learning in #MBO! Over the next year, we'll be running a pilot in vocational schools studying how MemoryLab could support students in self-regulated, personalised, and robust learning of arithmethic.

"The findings indicate that memory performance for a given item is heightened when, during studying, it is preceded by a more familiar item, such as a high-frequency word." This weeks research commentary by our junior researcher Myrthe Braam.

The beneficial effects of retrieval practice have been well established in various learner populations. Yet, research into retrieval practice in learners with special educational needs has been scarce. Research commentary by @thomas_wilschut. - doi/10.1111/1471-3802.12594
