q2 · i? · causal · r2

Post hoc descriptive analysis of registered pre-monitoring judgments: "88.3% (N = 2692) of the alternatives having received the highest level were also selected in the recognition phase"; the pattern held for both age groups separately.

"out of 100% (N = 3049) registered pre-monitoring judgments, 88.3% (N = 2692) of the alternatives having received the highest level were also selected in the recognition phase."

• The literature is mixed on age differences in the accuracy of retrospective confidence judgments during recognition memory tests, with older adults sometimes producing more high-confidence false alarms and poorer resolution with deceptive lures — related
