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.

q3 i? When item relatedness was an available cue, disfluency did not affect JOLs; disfluency affected JOLs only when manipulated within subjects and when it was the only differing factor between items. → Bjork 2016

Evidence

Bjork 2016

Bjork, R. A., & Yue, C. L. (2016). Commentary: Is disfluency desirable? Metacognition Learning, 11, 133–137. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-016-9156-8

q3 · i? · review · r2

Magreehan, Serra, Schwartz, and Narciss's experiments on judgments of learning for word pairs, manipulating fluency levels and item relatedness (as summarized in this commentary). Disfluency influenced JOLs only when it was the sole factor distinguishing items.

"When item relatedness was an available cue, disfluency did not affect JOLs; also, disfluency only affected JOLs when it was manipulated within subjects."
