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.
q2 i? Performance, perceived difficulty, and interest all acted as cues for metacognitive judgments in both tasks, with performance a significant but weak predictor. → Kamila Urban 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r2
The SEM results for the two creativity tasks showed "significant relationships between performance and judgments" as well as negative difficulty and positive interest associations, supporting the hypothesis that all three served as cues.
"The results reported in Table 5 showed significant relationships between performance and judgments (β = 0.11, p =.016; β = 0.24, p <.001), difficulty and judgments (β = − 0.13, p <.001; β = − 0.08, p =.050), and interest and judgments (β = 0.21, p <.001; β = 0.19, p <.001)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Interest — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Perceived difficulty and task interest in Task 1 indirectly inform expectancy beliefs for Task 2 — related
- Trait metacognitive awareness positively predicts perceived group performance while perceived task difficulty negatively predicts it — related
- Perceived value of creativity informs judgments and expectancies primarily indirectly through task-specific variables, especially task interest — related
- Task interest remains stable across consecutive creativity tasks: interest in one task is strongly and directly associated with interest in the next, with little mediation by task experience — related
- Metacognitive evaluations of effort and performance, rather than objective performance, drive spontaneous offloading — related
- Subjective effort ratings are affected by invalid cues and only weakly valid as cues to judged learning outcomes — related
- Perceived effort ratings are metacognitive judgments based on heuristic cue processing and prone to bias — related
