Uncertainty is ubiquitous in cognitive processing. In this study, we aim to investigate the
ability agents possess to track and report the noise inherent in their mental operations, often …

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 …

When retrieving information from memory there is an interplay between memory and
metamemory processes, and the prefrontal cortex has been implicated in both memory and …

ABSTRACT A central tenet in theoretical work on metacognition is that retrieval experiences
during memory search can exert control over behaviour. States of curiosity, which reflect …

Does excellent monitoring of learning support improvements in subsequent relearning?
Although some studies answer this question affirmatively, others have suggested that …

When retrieval fails, what is the phenomenology of that experience? We explored different
states of experience associated with retrieval failures that vary in intensity. Specifically, we …

Memory tasks involve a degree of judgment and strategic decision-making, based upon the
perceived benefits of particular learning, maintenance and recall strategies. The …

Metamemory judgments, defined as predictions of memory performance, are often
influenced by misleading cues, such as fluency. However, how fluency cues compete to …

Abstract Feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgments are judgments of future recognizability of
currently inaccessible information. They are known to depend both on the access to partial …

Mastering study materials often requires repeated learning. However, the strategy of
restudying the same materials has been criticized for not giving sufficient opportunity for …
