Generation effect: Applications, In experiments & Causes

The generation effect is a psychological phenomenon whereby information is better remembered if it is generated from one's own mind rather than simply read. Researchers have struggled to fully explain why generated information is better recalled than read information, as no single explanation has been comprehensive.
