They key takeaway here is that we should view retrieval as a learning event. Retrieval practice is not so much about testing whether someone knows something but rather a core part of actually learning that something, a process which occurs across time and space.

When we 'learn' something by reading it or being taught it, we don't learn it in that moment, we learn it across a number of episodes yet to happen in the future. This is why thinking carefully about curriculum and how to review and recall learned material is so, so crucial.

Ultimately, educators should be aware that memory is a highly dynamic process in which memories are not recalled like a tape recorder or from a computer hard-drive but rather reshaped and consolidated according to how we access them.
