“…For these analyses, we examined the effects of test type (cumulative vs. noncumulative) and time lag. Our separate analyses of introductory psychology surveys and upper-division surveys support Landrum's (2007) hypothesis. Specifically, for the introductory psychology surveys, we found main effects of final exam type, F(1, 328) ¼ 7.43, Z 2 ¼ .021, p < .001, and time lag, F(1, 328) ¼ 13.45, Z 2 ¼ .038, b ¼ À1.96, p < .001, with participants completing cumulative final exams producing higher survey scores than participants completing noncumulative finals and participants' survey performance decreasing as the time lag since course completion increases.…”
