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 i3 When solving time was self-regulated and unsolvable anagrams were included, the proportion of anagrams solved was greater for those receiving S JOSs than NS JOSs. → Burton 2023
q3 i3 Not-solvable responses were more likely for anagrams given NS JOSs than AS + S JOSs, providing a measure of effort regulation predicted by JOSs. → Burton 2023 (2)

Burton, O. R., Bodner, G. E., Williamson, P., & Arnold, M. M. (2023). How accurate and predictive are judgments of solvability? Explorations in a two-phase anagram solving paradigm. Metacognition and Learning, 18, 1–35. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09313-y
q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Experiment 3 (297 participants) modified solving phase with self-regulated time and both solvable and unsolvable anagrams. JOS main effect on proportion solved: F(2, 400) = 168.01, p < .001, η²p = .46. "the proportion of anagrams solved was greater for anagrams receiving S JOSs than NS JOSs".
"Unlike in Experiments 1 and 2, here the proportion of anagrams solved was greater for anagrams receiving S JOSs than NS JOSs (p < .001)."

q3 · i3 · causal · r3
Experiment 3 mixed-factor ANOVA on proportion of not-solvable responses: JOS main effect F(1, 266) = 739.65, p < .001, η²p = .74. "not-solvable responses were more likely for anagrams given NS JOSs than AS + S" JOSs, indicating NS JOSs predicted effort regulation.
"There was a significant main effect of JOS; not-solvable responses were more likely for anagrams given NS JOSs than AS + S"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Self-Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- AS and NS JOSs reliably predicted later solving outcomes, with AS JOSs predicting success and NS JOSs predicting failure — related
- S JOSs were discriminating but not predictive of later solving success in Experiments 1 and 2 — reports the opposite
- Solvable judgments of solvability discriminate solvable from unsolvable anagrams even after excluding already-solved judgments — related
- Training improved the predictiveness of AS and NS JOSs but not S JOSs, indicating training increased solving during the JOS task rather than JOS predictiveness — related
- Free choice of activities increases performance, task interest, and persistence across ages and settings — related
