q2 i? 68.1% of confidence judgments matched the pre-monitoring judgment, with 63.9% total agreement at the highest rating, and the pattern was equivalent for correct and incorrect answers. → Sophie Wacker 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Post hoc descriptive comparison of pre-monitoring and confidence judgments. "The diagonal of agreements adds up to 68.1% of all monitoring judgments"; for the highest rating, agreement was 63.9%, and the pattern was equivalent for correct and incorrect recognition.

"The diagonal of agreements adds up to 68.1% of all monitoring judgments."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Children's recognition choices overwhelmingly follow the alternative given the highest pre-monitoring judgment — related
• The literature is mixed on age differences in the accuracy of retrospective confidence judgments during recognition memory tests, with older adults sometimes producing more high-confidence false alarms and poorer resolution with deceptive lures — related
• Adults' confidence judgments track answer accuracy: confidence is higher on correct than incorrect general-knowledge trials (metacognitive monitoring) — related
• A minority of item judgments show downregulation of confidence after pre-monitoring, suggesting differentiated evaluation can sometimes trigger more accurate monitoring — related
• Fourth graders monitor and control answers to open-ended questions more accurately than second graders, but no significant age difference was found for true-false questions — related
• All children in the study showed adequate metacognitive processes before and during test taking — related
• In retrospective within-subject comparison, no core metric distinguished synthesized TTS narration from recorded instructor voice, and equivalence testing supported non-inferiority — related
• Monitoring accuracy interventions are more effective for retrospective confidence judgments than for judgments of learning — related
• Children judge correctly at a high rate on two-alternative concrete judgment items even in the youngest age groups — related
