Subclaims¶

q3 i? Memory metacognitive efficiency (meta-d′/d′) was negatively but non-significantly related to age (r = −0.064, p = 0.70). → Palmer E.C. 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Correlational analysis of 38 adults on a word-recognition memory confidence task. The article reports the age–memory metacognition relationship "was negative but was non-significant (r = −0.064, p = 0.70; n = 38)". No effect size beyond the correlation is printed; the correlation is negligible.

"The relationship between age and memory metacognitive efficiency (meta-d′/d′) was negative but was non-significant (r = −0.064, p = 0.70; n = 38)."

Related Claims¶

• Perceptual and memory metacognitive efficiencies are positively correlated across individuals, though weakened after outlier removal — related
• Executive function does not explain the age-related decline in perceptual metacognitive efficiency — related
• Memory metacognitive efficiency correlates with Wechsler Memory Scale scores, but perceptual metacognition does not — related
• Perceptual metacognitive efficiency declines with age in healthy adults aged 18–84, even when task performance is controlled — related
• Metacognitive monitoring declines under high working memory load, suggesting functional dependence of MC on WM — related
• Metacognitive ability increases with age during adolescence and plateaus in adulthood when task performance is held constant — related
• The age-related decline in perceptual metacognitive efficiency reflects both rising d′ and falling meta-d′ — related
