- 1OutlineI. Definition
II. Performance judgement
III. Neural basis of judgement
IV. Cue utilization theory
V. Improvement - 2MetamemoryThose aspects of memory functioning which involve monitoring of memory itself.
-» people's knowledge about their own memory - 3Why is metamemory important?Because it guides the strategies that a person uses to study, learn, remember and distribute practice.
- 4Knowledge about metamemoryKnowledge of factors that promote learning: POOR.
Evidence by McCabe (2011): scenarios to students, task was to indicate which outcome the study obtained. - 5Judgements of learning (JOL)A standard procedure for examining metamemory accuracy.
After study each item, judge how likely they will remember it. - 6Koriat et al (2004)- 60 word-pair for 4 sec
- then JOL 0-100
- immediate recall: JOL and recall same
- BUT: overestimation and underestimation shown
- 2 other groups: recall at 1 day or week later
- huge difference between JOL and recall
- unawareness of retention interval - 7Potts & Shanks (2014)- learning foreig language words
- 2 conditions: reading for 13sec / guessing 8 + studying 5sec
- then JOL
- generated condition: worse JOL and better recall - 8Interesting Findings1. Spacing effect - Kornell (2009)
2. Testing effect - Roedriger & Karpicke (2006)
3. Lecture videos - Johnston et al (2013)
4. Slides before lecture (Bobb & Ross 2009)
5. Laptop typing (Mueller & oppenheimer 2014) - 9Kornell (2009)- set of definition of unusual words
- 2 groups: 20 massed, 20 spaced learning for 4 days
- day 5: revision
- day 6: test
- higher JOL for massed until day 5
- 2x better recall in spaced condition - 10Roedriger & Karpicke (2006)- prose passage - 30 idea untis
- 4x 5 min
- 3 conditions: SSSS / SSST / STTT
- JOL: SSSS higherst
- 5 min immediate test: SSSS
- 1 week later: STTT - 11Johnston et al(2013)- campus A, B
- same physiology course but B has lecture videos available
- no difference betwen groups
- significantly better results in group A - 12Neural Bases of JOLKao et al (2008)
- MTL: activity associated with recall accurcy
- medial PFC: activity associated with JOL
- systems encoding for memory and JOLs are distinct - 13Cue utilization theoryThe claim that different types of cues can influence metamemory judgements (Koriat, 1997)
- extrinsic = distincitveness / semantic relatedness
- intrinsic = features of conditions of learning
- mnemonic = subjective processing (fluency) - 14Kornell et al (2011)- studied lsit of words small / large font
- half of the words 1x other half 2x
- JOLs. affceted by the size of the font
- recall: affected by repetition - 15Main take-aways of cue utilization theory1. metamemory judgements: often overly based on fluency
2. insufficiently based on extrinsic cues - 16Improvement- if more time after learning and JOL
- cognitive psychology course
