Subclaims¶

q3 i0 There were no significant differences in Gamma correlations between JOLs and recall between younger and older adults (d = 0.18). → Murphy 2024

Appendix analysis of the same experiment: "no significant differences in Gammas (a measure of the relative accuracy of JOLs) between younger and older adults", t(242) = 1.44, p = .152, d = 0.18, BF01 = 2.69. Mean Gammas were 0.65 for younger and 0.70 for older adults.

"There were no significant differences in Gammas (a measure of the relative accuracy of JOLs) between younger and older adults [ t(242) = 1.44, p = .152, d = 0.18, CI95%d = − 0.07 – 0.44, BF 01 = 2.69, CrI95% = − 0.07 – 0.42]."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Aging does not materially reduce the relative accuracy (resolution) of judgments of learning during encoding, with cross-sectional evidence of no age declines and even age-related increases in aggregate JOL resolution across ages 18 to 81 — a broader claim this one bears on
• Older adults show no reliable deficit in assessing item difficulty (EOL accuracy) — related
• Older adults show lower JOL resolution only when recollection-based responses are contrasted with pooled familiarity and new responses, an outcome attributed to age-related decreases in strong recollective experiences at test — related
