q3 i2 In exploratory post hoc tests, making JOLs impaired recall for unrelated words in older adults (d = 0.54) but did not impact recall for related words in older adults or for either pair type in younger adults. → Murphy 2024

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Exploratory post hoc tests following a non-significant three-way interaction: for older adults, JOLs impaired recall of unrelated words, "t(223) = 4.01, p < .001, d = 0.54"; JOLs did not impact recall for related words in older adults (d = 0.21, p = .120) or either type in younger adults.

"However, making JOLs impaired recall for unrelated words in older adults [ pholm < 0.001, d = 0.69]; a separate t-test corroborated this effect [t(223) = 4.01, p < .001, d = 0.54, CI95%d = 0.27 – 0.80, BF 10 > 100, CrI95% = 0.25 – 0.78]"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Related word pairs were far better recalled than unrelated pairs, while younger and older adults recalled a similar overall proportion of pairs
• JOL reactivity depended on pair relatedness: negative reactivity for unrelated word pairs but no reactivity for related word pairs — a broader claim this one bears on
• JOL reactivity differed by age: making JOLs impaired older adults' recall but did not affect younger adults' recall — related
• Making judgments of learning produced overall negative reactivity: participants making JOLs recalled fewer word pairs than participants not making JOLs — a broader claim this one bears on
