But they say that repeated testing across a multitude of testing situations, or rest types is a good thing for deep learning; I had the impression you said multiple testings only helped people memorize but did not promote deep learning. Perhaps the distinction here is that the testing not be of a single kind. I am not sure that that is what Roediger is suggesting either--testing of a single kind.
