The exact change
"Elaborative interrogation -- generating explanations for why stated facts are true -- is one of the most effective learning strategies identified in research, particularly for technical material where facts are embedded in causal and functional relationships. The strategy works because it forces learners to integrate new information with existing knowledge structures." -- Dr. Keith Dunlosky, Department of Psychology, Kent State University
John Dunlosky's 2013 review identifies elaborative interrogation -- generating explanations for why stated facts are true -- as one of the more effective learning strategies for technical material, where facts are embedded in causal and functional relationships. The strategy works because it forces learners to integrate new information with existing knowledge structures.
Suggested change
De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose, correcting the researcher's name to John Dunlosky and connecting the claim to his real, correctly-cited 2013 review rather than a fabricated direct quotation.
Why this is better
De-attributed an unverified quote and corrected an unverified first name: the article credited 'Dr. Keith Dunlosky' but the real, well-known researcher (correctly cited elsewhere in this article's own reference list) is John Dunlosky. Connected the claim to his real 2013 review rather than an unverified direct quotation.
