The Effects of Cue Diagnosticity on Accuracy of Judgments of Text Learning: Evidence Regarding the Cue Utilization Hypothesis and Momentary Accessibility

Abstract Details

2008, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Psychological Sciences.
This study investigated the relationship between cue diagnosticity and judgment accuracy for judgments of text learning in three experiments. Experiment 1 examined the influence of processing matches between a "practice" test (which also served as a measure of the cue) and a criterion test. Results reported that the type of criterion test influenced cue diagnosticity but not judgment accuracy. Experiment 2 extended these results by investigating the influence of the lag between the study session and the judgment session on cue diagnosticity and judgment accuracy. Results from Experiment 2 reported statistically significant differences for both cue diagnosticity and judgment accuracy. In particular, higher levels of cue diagnosticity were associated with higher levels of judgment accuracy. Experiment 3 investigated the influence of the lag between the trial on which cues were measured and the time at which the final criterion test occurred. Experiment 3 replicated results reported in Experiment 2.
