- Assertion
- Metacognitive interventions that manipulate practice difficulty and feedback wording can shift participants' use of external reminders without changing their underlying memory ability, with the shift in reminder-setting mediated by changes in confidence.
- Quote
Results showed that the metacognitive interventions influenced confidence: Participants were significantly more confident after receiving positive feedback, and when they received easy practice trials. However, there was no effect on objective accuracy. The metacognitive interventions also influenced reminder bias: To the extent that participants became more confident, they relied less on external reminders. Further, mediation analysis showed that shifts in reminder bias were mediated by shifts in confidence.
