Delayed judgments of learning (DJL) for text are less accurate than immediate judgments when memory tests are delayed. Immediate judgments with immediate tests were most accurate, unlike findings for word pairs.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Memory Studies

Background:

  • Judgments of learning (JOLs) predict future memory performance.
  • Previous research indicates delayed JOLs for word pairs are more accurate with delayed tests.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if delayed JOLs for text are more accurate than immediate JOLs when memory tests are delayed.
  • To compare JOL accuracy for text with previous findings for word pairs.

Main Methods:

  • Participants read texts and made judgments of learning (JOLs) either immediately or after a delay.
  • Memory tests were administered either immediately or after a delay.
  • Prediction accuracy was assessed by comparing JOLs to actual test performance.

Main Results:

  • Immediate JOLs with immediate tests yielded the most accurate predictions.
  • Immediate JOLs with delayed tests were less accurate.
  • Delayed JOLs with delayed tests did not improve prediction accuracy compared to immediate JOLs with delayed tests.

Conclusions:

  • The accuracy of JOLs for text differs from that of word pairs.
  • Immediate JOLs are more reliable for predicting text memory performance, regardless of test delay.
  • The findings suggest text-based JOLs may not benefit from temporal delays in the same way as word-pair JOLs.
