正式的学习是一种终生的追求，它并不仅仅发生在大学里。因此，改善长期学习的方法，包括完善的测试方法，应该在典型的大学环境之外为不同年龄的学习者进行检查，以适当评估它们的有用性。本研究考察了60名年龄在18-25岁的年轻大学生、60名年龄在18-25岁的年轻社区成年人和60名年龄在55-65岁的中老年社区成年人在即时和较长延迟（2天）下的测试效果。所有的小组都同样受益于两种延迟的测试，这意味着测试可以成为各种学习者的有益的终身学习工具。
Formal learning is a lifelong pursuit that does not occur exclusively within universities. Accordingly, methods for improving long-term learning, including the well-established use of testing, should be examined for various ages of learners outside typical university settings to properly assess their usefulness. This study examined testing effects in 60 younger university students aged 18-25, 60 younger community adults aged 18-25, and 60 middle-aged to older community adults aged 55-65 at immediate and longer delays (2-day). All groups similarly benefited from testing at both delays, implying that testing can be a beneficial lifelong learning tool for a diversity of learners.
