Subclaims¶

q3 i? Memory and transfer did not differ significantly between overt retrieval and cue-only JOLs, nor between cue–target JOLs and restudy. → Ritter 2025

Evidence¶

Ritter 2025¶

Ritter, C., Hausman, H., Gaschler, R., Tiffin-Richards, S. P., & Kubik, V. (2025). The Forward Effect of Judgements of Learning on Memory and Transfer in Inductive Learning. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-025-10094-4

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Preregistered within-set contrasts in Experiment 1's GLMMs on Phase B posttests. The cue–target JOLs vs. restudy contrasts were also nonsignificant (memory OR = 1.12, p = .758; transfer OR = 1.09, p = .788). No effect sizes beyond ORs near 1 are printed; equivalence was not tested.

"Memory did not differ significantly between overt retrieval (M = .64, SD = .27) and cue-only JOLs (M = .65, SD = .23, OR = 0.93, p = .833). Transfer also did not differ following overt retrieval (M = .61, SD = .26) and cue-only JOLs ( M = .60, SD = .22, OR = 1.03, p = .938)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Experiment 2 replicated the forward effect of cue-only JOLs over restudy with rock categories, and item-by-item feedback did not change the effect — related
• Cue-only JOLs, but not cue–target JOLs, showed the inverted U-shaped JOL–response-time relationship taken as a behavioral signature of covert retrieval (Experiment 1) — related
• In Experiment 1, cue-only JOLs produced significantly better Phase B memory and transfer than restudy, while overt retrieval's memory advantage over restudy was only marginal — related
• In Experiment 1, interim tasks with high retrieval probability (overt retrieval, cue-only JOLs) enhanced new inductive learning more than low-retrieval tasks (cue–target JOLs, restudy) on both memory and transfer — a broader claim this one bears on
• Self-reported retrieval use moderated the forward benefit of cue-only JOLs: higher retrieval ratings predicted better Phase B memory and transfer only in the cue-only JOLs condition — related
