This page is a list of learning measures (i.e. measures/metrics for testing what was learned).

Measure name	Type	Example
Free recall	Generative?	One is given a list of words to memorize. Afterwards (without the list) one is asked to recall as many words as possible from the list.^[1]
Cued recall	Associative memory	One is given a list of words to memorize. Afterwards (without the list), one is given some cues like the first few letters of words in the list, and asked to recall words from the list.^[1]
Uncued recognition
Cued recognition
Fill-in-the-blank test
(Associative?) Matching	Associative memory
Multiple-choice test (factual, comprehension)
Fact recognition	?
Concept-relatedness rating task	Comprehension/application
Problem-solving test	Comprehension/application
Diagram-drawing task
Inference tasks (based on information that is only implied in a text)
Sentence-completion test (similar to fill in the blank?)

Each learning measure also has a "delay" parameter that tests the length of retention of what was learned.
