- Processing Fluency
- However, some disfluency (requiring slightly more perceptual or cognitive effort) can paradoxically increase learning retention—a phenomenon called the "desirable difficulty" effect, where moderate disfluency during learning increases long-term retention, as Diemand-Yauman, Oppenheimer, and Vaughan (2011) demonstrated using disfluent fonts in classroom and lab settings.
This sourceLab and classroom evidence that moderate disfluency (harder-to-read fonts) during encoding increases long-term retention—the canonical desirable-difficulty result.
