Retrieval practice on earlier studied material can enhance recall of later studied, new material, a finding termed the forward testing effect. Here, we examined whether a similar effect can arise in response to elaborative studying with concept mapping. Participants studied three prose passages and, between studies of the single passages, practiced the preceding passage by virtue of restudy, retrieval practice, or the creation of a concept map. Concept mapping and retrieval practice enhanced recall of the final critical passage to a similar degree when related passages but not when unrelated passages were employed. Moreover, with related passages, both interim tasks enhanced recall even compared to when no preceding passages were studied and improved performance on a final inference test. The findings suggest that, with related materials, the learning of the later studied material can be aided by interim learning tasks that promote one's knowledge of the earlier studied material.
