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 i2 Children in the experimental pre-monitoring condition showed significantly more overconfidence (bias index) than children in the control condition, independent of age. → Sophie Wacker 2024

Sophie Wacker 2024¶
Sophie Wacker, Claudia M. Roebers. (2024). Motivating children to (pre)monitor: positive effects on monitoring accuracy? Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-023-09351-0
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Between-subject ANOVA on the bias index in a randomized two-condition experiment with N = 305 children. The condition main effect was significant, ηp² = .05, with "less overconfidence in the control condition" than in the experimental condition; the condition × age interaction was not significant.
"results revealed a significant main effect of condition (F (1, 301) = 14.74, p < .001, ηp 2 = .05), with less overconfidence in the control condition (M = .30, SD = .21) than in the experimental condition (M = .38, SD = .19)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Children's recognition choices overwhelmingly follow the alternative given the highest pre-monitoring judgment — related
- Overconfidence (bias) decreased from pretest to posttest across all groups including control, with no group differences — reports the opposite
- Monitoring discrimination and overconfidence improve with age between kindergarten and second grade — related
