Participants retained more information after retrieval practice, but only for seductive details, not important information. Here, we conducted the same comparison after removing seductive details from the texts. Participants retained significantly more important information after retrieval practice compared to rereading. Seductive details seem to affect processing both during reading and in retrieval practice engaged after reading. Keyphrases: relevance, retrieval practice, seductive details
