In Experiment 1, the interim learning task did not affect Phase A posttest performance, indicating the forward benefit was not due to improved prior learning¶

q3 i? Exploratory Phase A memory and transfer contrasts were nonsignificant and numerically in the opposite direction, with no significant omnibus effects. → Ritter 2025

Evidence¶

Ritter, C., Hausman, H., Gaschler, R., Tiffin-Richards, S. P., & Kubik, V. (2025). The Forward Effect of Judgements of Learning on Memory and Transfer in Inductive Learning. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-025-10094-4

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Exploratory two-tailed GLMM contrasts on Phase A artist posttests in Experiment 1; omnibus main effects and interactions were also nonsignificant (all χ2s < 1.86, all ps > .17). No effect sizes are printed, so the null is reported without an effect size.

"the high- versus low-retrieval probability, overt retrieval versus restudy, and cue-only JOLs versus restudy contrasts for Phase A memory and transfer were not statistically significant (all | zs|< 1.90, all ps > .06) and were numerically in the opposite direction."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Experiment 2 replicated the forward effect of cue-only JOLs over restudy with rock categories, and item-by-item feedback did not change the effect — related
• In Experiment 1, cue-only JOLs produced significantly better Phase B memory and transfer than restudy, while overt retrieval's memory advantage over restudy was only marginal — related
• In Experiment 1, interim tasks with high retrieval probability (overt retrieval, cue-only JOLs) enhanced new inductive learning more than low-retrieval tasks (cue–target JOLs, restudy) on both memory and transfer — related
• Self-reported retrieval use moderated the forward benefit of cue-only JOLs: higher retrieval ratings predicted better Phase B memory and transfer only in the cue-only JOLs condition — related
• Over a whole term of chemistry and nature-study lessons, only the slightest indication existed that facts were remembered better by virtue of their position in the course — related
• The maze task included a re-solve phase in which participants solved the same maze forward or backward from finish to start
