Summary

Unrecalled items are not forgotten and can be recalled later. Feeling-of-knowing (FOK) accuracy for memory prediction depends on encoding and task type, with elaborative processing enhancing FOK accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Memory Research

Background:

  • Items not recalled in initial memory tasks can often be retrieved later.
  • Metacognitive judgments, such as feeling-of-knowing (FOK) ratings, can predict subsequent recall accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how encoding manipulations (levels of processing, study time) and second-task type (explicit vs. implicit) influence recall performance and FOK accuracy for unrecalled items.
  • To determine if FOK accuracy reflects factors driving performance on different types of memory retrieval tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted assessing second-task performance and FOK accuracy for unrecalled items.
  • Experiment 1 manipulated levels of processing; Experiment 2 manipulated study time.
  • Second tasks involved either explicit or implicit cued stem completion.

Main Results:

  • Levels of processing enhanced explicit second-task performance more than implicit performance, but improved FOK accuracy for both.
  • Study time improved FOK accuracy only for the explicit second task.
  • FOK ratings reflected factors influencing implicit task performance only when elaborative processing occurred.

Conclusions:

  • Encoding strategies, particularly elaborative processing, significantly impact both memory retrieval and the accuracy of feeling-of-knowing predictions.
  • The relationship between metacognitive judgments and memory performance is modulated by the nature of the retrieval task and the depth of initial encoding.
