Judgments of learning (JOLs) become more underconfident with more study trials. However, additional study trials do not change the relative accuracy of JOLs in predicting recall.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Metacognition
  • Memory Research

Background:

  • Judgments of learning (JOLs) are metacognitive assessments of one's own learning.
  • Previous research indicates an 'underconfidence-with-practice' effect for immediate JOLs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of study trials on both immediate and delayed JOLs.
  • To examine the absolute and relative accuracy of JOLs under varying study conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Participants made JOLs at different points: after one study trial, after two study trials, or between study trials.
  • The absolute and relative accuracy of these JOLs in predicting subsequent recall was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A novel 'underconfidence-with-practice' effect was observed for delayed JOLs.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Delayed JOLs consistently showed greater relative accuracy than immediate JOLs.
  • Absolute JOL accuracy was affected by additional study trials, but relative accuracy remained stable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increasing study trials impacts the absolute accuracy of JOLs, leading to increased underconfidence.
    • The number of study trials does not alter the relative accuracy of JOLs in ranking item learnability.
