0:00:00no one was used to like to talk about a recent study on this test
0:00:07conducted by a group of researchers and published psychological journal in two thousand and twelve
0:00:14first let's take a look i one drop the need for this study one was
0:00:20conducted
0:00:22this is why
0:00:24the widely used one twist has to know exactly how good reputation
0:00:30and that sort of the present system is the claim that multiple choice test we
0:00:34focus on recognition processes
0:00:37essentially this means that all do is a learner is to recognize the right answer
0:00:43which is over display
0:00:46thus there is no need for you to exercise in mental effort by retreating pertinent
0:00:51information from every which is necessary to recall
0:00:56or to figure out and
0:00:58articulate the correct answer
0:01:01so the researchers wanted to find out do multiple choice test focus on recognition process
0:01:09is only
0:01:10i inferior to huge recall task or otherwise no
0:01:15as short answer test
0:01:18to trigger productive retrieval processes
0:01:23to answer this question is a conducted two experiments
0:01:27experiment one so to assess the of an initial you recall tennis and initial multiple
0:01:35choice test all the participants performance what of a test
0:01:39the final test contain questions identical to those used in the initial test for control
0:01:46items
0:01:47and i will use your items and questions interchangeably
0:01:52the final test also contained
0:01:55i discovery we contact
0:01:59so what were the results
0:02:02the results that initial test indicated that first but number of correct answers for the
0:02:08multiple choice test was larger than those given for the q recall test
0:02:13secondly that
0:02:15initial multiple choice test improved lead to recall of the tested information more that the
0:02:22initial huge recall test
0:02:25furthermore the results like a test indicated that when participants to initial you recall task
0:02:32the one test performance only related items
0:02:36was worse than that on your
0:02:40corresponding control
0:02:43but when participants to an initial multiple choice test
0:02:47final test performance on related items with higher than that on your corresponding control items
0:02:56experiment two was
0:02:59identical to experiment one except for one and condition
0:03:05the artist or we see
0:03:08in the right answer to each class to test
0:03:14here was to assess how feedback on an initial multiple choice test
0:03:19in a lot of attention really information
0:03:23so what the results
0:03:26well that was provided for testing is linked test information in proc
0:03:33however the improvement was nearly this study we cordless
0:03:37or whether the test was multiple choice test
0:03:40or do you recall task
0:03:43furthermore
0:03:44recall of information
0:03:46really to multiple choice test incorrect alternatives once the state
0:03:53it was just a e one the participants were given feedback to the initial test
0:04:01so in summary the results discussed about indicate that multiple choice test are not inferior
0:04:09to you recall test
0:04:12they can force letters to think one time that is
0:04:16are incorrect answers which is very important because this clearly indicate that multiple choice test
0:04:25hence here
0:04:27advantage over there you recall
0:04:31multiple choice test also have a poster learning cabal previously tested and related content
0:04:39and last but not least and this is a very for bad but probably needs
0:04:45are not there
0:04:46the video coverage
0:04:48ensure that
0:04:49you multiple choice tests are well constructed
0:04:53and contain all possible alternatives
0:04:58two but more
0:05:00companies use the information that is share all is free
0:05:05thank you for your attention
