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 i1 Across ages and pair types, participants making JOLs recalled fewer word pairs (M = 0.60) than participants not making JOLs (M = 0.65), exemplifying negative reactivity. → Murphy 2024

q3 · i1 · causal · r2
Pre-registered online mixed-factor experiment with 481 younger and older adults studying related and unrelated word pairs with JOL or equal-duration inter-stimulus interval conditions. The JOL group recalled fewer pairs: "M = 0.60, SD = 0.18" vs M = 0.65, F(1, 477) = 8.20, p = .004, ηp2 = 0.02; t-test d = 0.25.
"Participants making JOLs recalled fewer word pairs ( M = 0.60, SD = 0.18) than participants not making JOLs (M = 0.65, SD = 0.19), [F(1, 477) = 8.20, p = .004, ηp2 = 0.02, BF10 = 0.88], exemplifying negative reactivity; a separate t-test corroborated this effect [t(479) = 2.75, p = .006, d = 0.25"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- JOL reactivity differed by age: making JOLs impaired older adults' recall but did not affect younger adults' recall — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- JOL reactivity depended on pair relatedness: negative reactivity for unrelated word pairs but no reactivity for related word pairs — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Exploratory analyses suggest older adults' negative reactivity was specific to unrelated word pairs, with no reactivity for related pairs in either age group — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Making JOLs is not a neutral act: metacognitive ratings reactively affect subsequent learning, so experiments need judgment-free conditions — a broader claim this one bears on
