The choice group shows a mostly linear increase; non-choice group shows an interesting decrease in retention before going back to a previous increasing rate.

Pathetic. Obviously, if the student can ask to see the video when she thinks she needs a reminder, she’s going to get more out of it than if she watches the video at random and arbitrary times.

I have an idea for another study. Let’s get a group of 24 education grad students and divide them into two groups: the “wasp group” and the “no wasp group.” Yellowjackets sting the members of the wasp group, while no insects sting the no wasp group. We then ask the members of the study if they are experiencing any pain. I predict that the wasp group will answer “yes” at a statistically significant higher rate than the no-wasp group. I think a mere $1.5 million grant should be enough to get to the bottom of this perplexing question.
