   1 flagged finding: an unverified quote attributed to 'Dr. Keith Dunlosky' -- the real, well-known researcher (correctly cited elsewhere in this site's corpus, including this same article's own reference list) is John Dunlosky, confirming the quote and first name were unverified.

   Before

   "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

   After

   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.

   Why: 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.
