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 i? In the surprise memory recall analysis of trials with initially incorrect guesses, the Not Sure Knowledge Confidence response was positively associated with recall accuracy. → Xiaoyun Chen 2024

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Binomial GLMM on 4010 trials (incorrect guesses only) from 100 adults; the article reports "the Not Sure response of Knowledge Confidence was positively associated with recall accuracy ( β(logit) = 0.29, SE = 0.11, z = 2.71, p =.007)"; full-null comparison χ2 = 12.00, df = 4, p =.017, R2 = 0.39.
"the Not Sure response of Knowledge Confidence was positively associated with recall accuracy ( β(logit) = 0.29, SE = 0.11, z = 2.71, p =.007)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Curiosity did not significantly predict recall accuracy in the blurred-picture learning task
- Low and medium Knowledge Confidence heighten curiosity, contradicting the predicted inverted U-shaped relationship — related
- Correctness Confidence did not significantly predict recall accuracy, contrary to the authors' hypothesis — related
- Correctness Confidence linearly predicts curiosity, with higher confidence in a guess associated with greater curiosity — related
