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? When Individual-condition participants were instructed to retrieve out loud, Individual and Paired conditions reported similarly accurate gJOLs and iJOLs in Experiment 3. → Imundo 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r3
Experiment 3 (405 participants, preregistered) instructed Individual-condition participants to test themselves aloud, enforced with an audio monitor. The abstract reports that with overt retrieval required, the two conditions' global and item-level judgments were similarly accurate, supporting overt retrieval as the driver of the paired-condition calibration benefit.
"With this change, participants in the Individual and Paired conditions reported similarly accurate gJOLs and iJOLs."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Paired flashcard learners show more accurate immediate metacognitive calibration than individual learners, who overestimate by roughly 20% — related
- Global judgments of learning correlate moderately-to-strongly with final test performance in both individual and paired conditions — related
- Studying flashcards in pairs raised negative affect in Experiment 1, but not in Experiment 2, which added an icebreaker and relaxed feedback rules — related
- Individual and paired flashcard learning yield comparable final cued-recall test performance — related
