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.
q3 i3 Memory metacognitive efficiency correlated significantly with WMS immediate (r = .37), delayed (r = .59) and recognition (r = .37) scores, whereas perceptual metacognition showed no such relationships. → Palmer E.C. 2014

Secondary correlational analyses linking metacognitive efficiency to Wechsler Memory Scale logical memory subtests. The article reports significant WMS–memory metacognition correlations (delayed r = .59, p = .01) and none for perceptual metacognition (all p ≥ .54).
"Significant relationships were identified between WMS scores and memory metacognitive efficiency (immediate, r = .37, p = .05, n = 28; delayed, r = .59, p = .01, n = 27; recognition, r = .37, p = .05, n = 27), but not perceptual metacognitive efficiency (immediate, r = .12, p = .54, n = 29; delayed, r = .05, p = .79, n = 28; recognition, r = .07, p = .73, n = 28)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Perceptual and memory metacognitive efficiencies are positively correlated across individuals, though weakened after outlier removal — related
- Memory metacognitive efficiency shows a non-significant negative relationship with age — related
- Perceptual metacognitive efficiency declines with age in healthy adults aged 18–84, even when task performance is controlled — related
- Executive function does not explain the age-related decline in perceptual metacognitive efficiency — related
- Metacognitive efficiency shows partial domain-general structure: strong shared metacognition between lexical decision and emotion recognition tasks — related
