The Influence of Making Judgments of Learning on Memory Performance Under Experimenter-Paced and Self-Paced
The current study aimed to assess the performance on judgments of learning(JOLs)on memory.This study assessed by learning-judgment-recall paradigm to examine the memory accuracy of individuals in different time allocation scenarios at experimenter-paced(Experiment 1)and at self-paced(Experiment 2),and to reveal the mechanism of JOL reactivity effect.The results showed that making JOLs had a positive reactivity on memory regardless of the experimenter-paced or self-paced time allocation.For strongly related pairs,the memory performance of the clue recall in making JOLs was significantly higher than that in no-JOLs;however,for weakly related pairs,there was no significant difference between making JOLs and no-JOLs in memory performance.The results indicate that making JOLs significantly enhances the memory performance of individuals,particularly for strongly related word pairs.
