Abstract: | Three experiments investigated whether study choice was directly related to judgments of learning (JOLs) by examining people’s
choices in cases in which JOLs were dissociated from recall. In Experiment 1, items were given either three repetitions or
one repetition on Trial 1. Items given three repetitions received one on Trial 2, and those given one repetition received
three on Trial 2—equating performance at the end of Trial 2, but yielding different immediate Trial 2 JOLs. Study choice followed
the “illusory” JOLs. A delayed JOL condition in Experiment 2 did not show this JOL bias and neither did study choice. Finally,
using a paradigm (Koriat & Bjork, 2005) in which similar JOLs are given to forward and backward associative pairs, despite
much worse performance on the backward pairs, study choice again followed the mistaken JOLs. We concluded that JOLs—what people
believe they know—directly influence people’s study choices. |
