Retention of conceptual learning after an interactive introductory physics course

Bethany R. Wilcox, Steven J. Pollock, Daniel R. Bolton

The cyclic format of the undergraduate physics curriculum depends on students' ability to recall and utilize material covered in prior courses in order to reliably build on that kn…
