Subclaims¶
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.
q2 i? Current metacomprehension research shows little or no relation between absolute accuracy (calibration) and relative accuracy (discrimination). → Bol L and Hacker DJ 2012

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
Narrative review attributing to Maki et al. (2005) the finding that "there is little or no relation between absolute and relative accuracy" in metacomprehension judgments. The review defines absolute accuracy as overall calibration and relative accuracy as item-to-item discrimination. No coefficients are printed.
"Current research of metacomprehension judgments has shown that there is little or no relation between absolute and relative accuracy (Maki et al., 2005)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Diagramming scaffold also improves absolute metacomprehension accuracy for causal relations, extending the effect beyond relative accuracy — related
- Monitoring accuracy predicts comprehension-based regulation accuracy, and cue availability also has an indirect effect on regulation accuracy via monitoring accuracy — related
- Drawing after learning, both from scratch and with spatial scaffolds, improves absolute monitoring accuracy (calibration) compared with a time-matched mental reactivation control condition — related
- Adding diagram self-assessment to diagram completion does not increase diagnostic cue utilization or metacomprehension accuracy beyond diagramming alone — related
- Pre-structured diagrams improved metacomprehension accuracy while self-assessment cues showed no differences — related
- Diagramming scaffold improves relative metacomprehension accuracy for causal relations in expository texts — related
- Delayed diagram completion improves students' relative monitoring accuracy of text comprehension compared with no diagramming — related
