多项选择测试在教育环境中普遍使用，但对学生知识的影响尚不清楚。作者研究了在后来的一般知识测试中进行多项选择测试的后果，在测试中学生被警告不要猜测。一个大的积极的测试效果：事先测试的事实辅助最终线索回忆性能。然而，之前的测试也有负面影响。之前阅读更多的多项选择诱饵会降低阳性测试效果，并增加最终测试中作为错误答案的多项选择诱饵的产生。多项选择测试可能会无意中导致错误知识的产生。
Multiple-choice tests are commonly used in educational settings but with unknown effects on students' knowledge. The authors examined the consequences of taking a multiple-choice test on a later general knowledge test in which students were warned not to guess. A large positive testing effect was obtained: Prior testing of facts aided final cued-recall performance. However, prior testing also had negative consequences. Prior reading of a greater number of multiple-choice lures decreased the positive testing effect and increased production of multiple-choice lures as incorrect answers on the final test. Multiple-choice testing may inadvertently lead to the creation of false knowledge.
