Subclaims¶

q3 i? All children, regardless of age or achievement level, showed adequate metacognitive processes before and during test taking. → Krebs 2012

Evidence¶

Krebs 2012¶

Krebs, S.S., Roebers, C.M. (2012). The impact of retrieval processes, age, general achievement level, and test scoring scheme for children's metacognitive monitoring and controlling. Metacognition and Learning 7, 75–90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-011-9079-3

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Baseline finding of the N = 150 experimental study: the article reports that "All children showed adequate metacognitive processes before and during test taking," spanning both age groups and both achievement levels, with no effect size printed.

"All children showed adequate metacognitive processes before and during test taking with 11/12- year-olds outperforming 9/10-year-olds when considering characteristics of on-going retrieval processes."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Older children (11/12-year-olds) outperform younger children (9/10-year-olds) when considering characteristics of on-going retrieval processes — related
• High achievers are more accurate than low achievers in metacognitive monitoring and controlling during test taking — reports the opposite
• Pre-monitoring and retrospective confidence judgments are highly consistent, with most agreement at the highest scale level regardless of correctness — related
• When facing higher demands regarding retrieval processes, mnemonic experience (age) seems to play the more important role in metacognitive performance — related
• Children's recognition choices overwhelmingly follow the alternative given the highest pre-monitoring judgment — related
