REFERENCES
My comments about what free recall self-tests can do for you are based on the large literature related to the testing effect. At a high-level, frequent tests enhance learning in a variety of ways.
For a thorough discussion of the possible benefits (including anticipatory/motivational aspects and organizational aspects, like I mention in the video), check out:
Roediger III, H. L., Putnam, A. L., & Smith, M. A. (2011). Ten Benefits of Testing and Their Applications to Educational Practice. In Psychology of Learning and Motivation (Vol. 55, pp. 1–36). Elsevier.
Here is a recent meta-analysis exploring different potential mechanisms and applications of the testing effect(s):
Yang, C., Luo, L., Vadillo, M. A., Yu, R., & Shanks, D. R. (2021). Testing (quizzing) boosts classroom learning: A systematic and meta-analytic review. Psychological Bulletin, 147(4), 399–435.
