Related Claims¶

• For prediction judgments on factual questions, males and learners with lower WMC and lower topic knowledge, but higher self-perceived topic knowledge and self-perceived metacomprehension ability, showed stronger overestimation — related
• For postdiction bias on factual questions, underestimation was prevalent for females, higher reading skill, and lower self-perceived topic knowledge and metacomprehension ability — related
