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? Participants selected the better strategy more when it was rounding-up and problems were homogeneous, and executed rounding-down faster on homogeneous problems, in both age groups. → Marie Geurten & Patrick Lemaire 2017

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Supplemental analyses (S1) of strategy selection and execution in the 66-participant experiment replicated prior problem-feature effects: participants "selected the better strategy on each problem when this better strategy was the rounding-up strategy and the problems were homogeneous problems". No effect sizes printed in the main text.
"They selected the better strategy on each problem when this better strategy was the rounding-up strategy and the problems were homogeneous problems. They executed the rounding-down strategy more quickly on homogeneous problems."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Absolute ease-of-selection judgments did not differ between homogeneous and heterogeneous problems in either age group or task — related
- Low-confidence judgments on one problem predict better strategy selection on the immediately following problem, equally in young and older adults — related
- Older adults show higher retrospective metacognitive accuracy than young adults in the selection-only task, especially on homogeneous unit-digit problems, but comparable accuracy in the selection-execution task — related
- Retrospective metacognitive accuracy for strategy selection is higher in the selection-only task than the selection-execution task and on homogeneous than heterogeneous unit-digit problems — related
- Young and older adults make accurate retrospective confidence judgments but not prospective ease-of-selection judgments about their arithmetic strategy selections — related
- Eliciting confidence ratings leads to poorer metacognitive monitoring in older adults — related
