Retention
Revision as of 18:18, 14 February 2007 by Kirsten-Butcher (talk | contribs)
Retention refers to the ability to recall or reproduce learned knowledge components during a future knowledge event.
For example, if a student learns a word's pronunciation during training, retention would be demonstrated if the student can recall/reproduce that word's pronunciation at a later time. This can be distinguished from transfer, in which the student may apply the learned pronunciation to new words or new contexts.
