Perceiving effort as poor learning: The misinterpreted-effort hypothesis of how experienced effort and perceived learning relate to study strategy choice
How do learners make decisions about how, what, and when to study, and why are their
decisions sometimes ineffective for learning? In three studies, learners experienced a pair of …

The fluency of social hierarchy: the ease with which hierarchical relationships are seen, remembered, learned, and liked.
We tested the hypothesis that social hierarchies are fluent social stimuli; that is, they are
processed more easily and therefore liked better than less hierarchical stimuli. In Study 1 …

Making related errors facilitates learning, but learners do not know it
BJ Huelser, J Metcalfe - Memory & cognition, 2012 - Springer
Producing an error, so long as it is followed by corrective feedback, has been shown to
result in better retention of the correct answers than does simply studying the correct …
