uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

Metamemory illusions may be defined as cases in which people's judgments about their
own memories seriously deviate from the actual states of their memories. It has been …

The font size effect on judgments of learning (JOLs) refers to the fact that people give higher
JOLs to large than to small font size words, despite font size having no effect on retention …

Studies have demonstrated that perceptual fluency—the ease of perceiving stimuli—does
not contribute to higher predictions of future memory performance (judgments of learning; …

Unlock the secrets to understanding yourself and others with the surprising science of the

Abstract Words printed in a larger 48-point font are judged to be more memorable than
words printed in a smaller 18-point font, although font size does not affect actual memory. To …

Recent studies found that making judgments of learning (JOLs) can reactively facilitate
memory, a phenomenon termed the reactivity effect of JOLs. The current study was designed …

The font size effect is a metamemory illusion in which larger-font items produce higher
judgments of learning (JOLs) but not better memory, relative to smaller-font items. We …

Making judgments of learning (JOLs) can reactively change memory, a phenomenon termed
the reactivity effect. The current study was designed to explore whether the reactivity effect …

An emerging body of studies has demonstrated that asking participants to make concurrent
judgments of learning (JOLs) during learning can reactively change (typically enhance) their …
