Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testing effects refer to the phenomenon where being tested on material can itself enhance or impair subsequent performance on that material. A control group cannot prevent testing effects, as they are still likely to occur in the experimental group being tested. Testing effects can lead to both increased and decreased scores depending on the circumstances, and they can sensitize people to being tested.
