Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In 22.6% of judgments confidence was rated lower than the prior pre-monitoring judgment, which the authors read as a decrease in overconfidence. → Sophie Wacker 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Post hoc descriptive analysis of judgment shifts: "22.6% of judgments were found to mirror lower confidence compared to the previous pre-monitoring judgment"; 9.3% mirrored higher confidence. A chi-squared test showed a significant relationship (X²(30) = 550.20, p < .001, CC = .412).
"But, 22.6% of judgments were found to mirror lower confidence compared to the previous pre-monitoring judgment, indicating a decrease in overconfidence as we had initially expected."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Reactivity differs by rating scope: item-focused confidence ratings impaired rule learning while task-focused judgments of learning did not — related
- Adults who answered health math problems correctly reported higher monitoring judgments than those who answered incorrectly, with larger differences at posttest than pretest — related
- Pre-monitoring and retrospective confidence judgments are highly consistent, with most agreement at the highest scale level regardless of correctness — related
- Monitoring lowers accuracy for unlearnable rules: preposition usage was significantly less accurate in the more monitored style — related
- Grade 4 children can metacognitively monitor their working memory performance, tending to be over-confident as task difficulty increases — related
- Monitoring accuracy interventions are more effective for retrospective confidence judgments than for judgments of learning — related
