Subclaims¶

q3 i2 When participants made JOLs, there was negative reactivity for unrelated word pairs (d = 0.37) but no reactivity for related word pairs (d = −0.03). → Murphy 2024

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

The JOL × relatedness interaction was significant, F(1, 477) = 26.64, p < .001, ηp2 = 0.05, BF10 > 100. JOLs impaired recall of unrelated pairs, "t(479) = 4.08, p < .001, d = 0.37".

"Next, whether or not participants made JOLs interacted with relatedness [ F(1, 477) = 26.64, p < .001, ηp2 = 0.05, BF10 > 100] such that when participants made JOLs, there was negative reactivity for unrelated word pairs [ pholm < 0.001, d = 0.46]; a separate t-test corroborated this effect [ t(479) = 4.08, p < .001, d = 0.37"

Same experiment: for related word pairs there was "no reactivity for related word pairs", pholm = 0.929, d = 0.01; t(479) = −0.29, p = .775, d = −0.03, BF01 = 9.49. Equivalence was not formally tested.

"However, there was no reactivity for related word pairs [ pholm = 0.929, d = 0.01]; a separate t-test corroborated this effect [t(479) =-0.29, p = .775, d = − 0.03, CI95%d = − 0.21 – 0.15, BF01 = 9.49"

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 — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• JOL reactivity differed by age: making JOLs impaired older adults' recall but did not affect younger adults' recall — 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
