Abstract in brief

  • Retrieval practice enhances learning by activating both the anterior and posterior hippocampus, supporting long-term memory retention.
  • The study found that posterior hippocampus activity increases with successful retrievals, while anterior hippocampus activity is linked to items retrieved multiple times, indicating different roles in memory encoding.
  • These findings suggest that retrieval practice strengthens memory through dual mechanisms—coding specific experiences and integrating multiple memories—highlighting its importance for educational strategies.
