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 When making JOLs, older adults' recall was impaired relative to the no-JOL group (negative reactivity, d = 0.48), whereas younger adults did not show reactivity (d = 0.05). → Murphy 2024

q3 · i1 · causal · r3
In the same pre-registered experiment, the JOL × age interaction was significant, F(1, 477) = 5.31, p = .022, ηp2 = 0.01. Older adults showed negative reactivity, "t(223) = 3.62, p < .001, d = 0.48"; younger adults showed no reactivity (d = 0.05, BF01 = 6.76).
"Whether or not participants made JOLs interacted with age group [ F(1, 477) = 5.31, p = .022, η p2 = 0.01, BF10 = 0.60] such that when making JOLs, older adults’ recall was impaired relative to the no JOL group (negative reactivity), [pholm = 0.003, d = 0.41]; a separate t-test corroborated this effect [ t(223) = 3.62, p < .001, d = 0.48"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Related word pairs were far better recalled than unrelated pairs, while younger and older adults recalled a similar overall proportion of pairs
- Exploratory analyses suggest older adults' negative reactivity was specific to unrelated word pairs, with no reactivity for related pairs in either age group — related
- JOL reactivity depended on pair relatedness: negative reactivity for unrelated word pairs but no reactivity for related word pairs — related
- Making judgments of learning produced overall negative reactivity: participants making JOLs recalled fewer word pairs than participants not making JOLs — a broader claim this one bears on
