摘要

Memory retention is a key challenge in medical education. Interpolated quizzing has shown promise in enhancing retention, yet its impact remains understudied. This study employed a quantitative, between-subject design to compare intermittent quizzing during lectures with post-lecture testing. Sixty-eight medical students were randomly assigned to either an interpolated quizzing group or non-interpolated group. Final test results revealed significantly higher retention and scores in the quizzing group. These findings suggest that interpolated quizzing is an effective strategy for improving knowledge retention and recall, offering a valuable tool for enhancing learning outcomes in medical education.
