Bjork, R. A. (1979). Information‐processing analysis of college teaching. Educational Psychologist, 14(1), 15-23. researchgate.net/profile/Robert-Bjork-2/publication/261581257_Information-Processing_Analysis_of_College_Teaching/links/5d260916458515c11c23fa01/Information-Processing-Analysis-of-College-Teaching.pdf
The sentence rearrangement study comes from: Bradford, E. J. (1975). Retention of subject-generated verbal material (Doctoral dissertation, ProQuest Information & Learning).

NOTE: I know nothing about immune systems. Just using as a potential example. Please don't take anything I say about them as gospel.
