Repeated retrieval practice and item difficulty: Does criterion learning eliminate item difficulty effects? [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2013 A wealth of previous research has established that retrieval practice promotes memory, particularly when retrieval is successful. Although successful retrieval promotes memory, it remains unclear whether successful retrieval promotes memory equally well for items of varying difficulty. Will easy items still outperform difficult items on a final test if

Item learning in cognitive skill training: Effects of item difficulty [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2003 Item difficulty effects in skill learning were examined by giving participants extensive training with repeated alphabet arithmetic problems that varied in addend size (e.g., C-D = ? is easy; C-J = ? is harder). Recognition memory for the items, as measured by interpolated recognition tests, was acquired early in training and was unaffected by item ...
