In a 2011 study, Jeff Karpicke and Janell Blunt asked students to study a science text under one of four conditions (study, repeated study, concept mapping, retrieval practice). They found that:
A)Despite the clear superiority of the concept mapping condition, participants judged retrieval practice as more effective
B)Despite the clear superiority of repeated study, participants judged concept mapping as more effective
C)Despite the four conditions being equally effective, participants judged repeated study as more effective
D)Despite the clear superiority of retrieval practice, participants judged retrieval practice to be the least effective
E)Despite the impact of stem completion, participants judged retrieval practice and concept mapping as the most effective methods
