The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying metamemory disruptions
… metacognitive metrics were quantified using a metamemory task that involved the encoding of stimuli followed by a test requiring participants to make a first-order response (‘Have you seen this image before?’), followed by a second-order introspective confidence rating assigned to that response …

Theory of Mind and Metamemory in Old Age
… = 19) completed two theory of mind tasks and a metamemory questionnaire. The theory of mind tasks consisted of (a) The Theory of Mind Story Task (ToMST) (Happé, Winner, & Brownell, 1998) and (b) a task developed specifically for this study, the What Would You Do? Questionnaire (WWYD). Metamemory …

Metamemory and frontal lobe function in the elderly.
… were used to investigate age differences in metamemory, and to examine the relation between metamemory and frontal lobe function in the elderly. Three age groups were included in the study to address these issues: a Young Control group (18-30 yrs); a Young-Old group (60-75 yrs); and an …

Investigating the Effects of Discrimination Experiences on Everyday Metamemory
… investigating stress-induced impairment of metamemory may address the relationship between discrimination experiences and cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lifetime and daily experiences of discrimination, daily affect balance, baseline …

Exploring Age-Related Metamemory Differences Using Modified Brier Scores and Hierarchical Clustering
… ability to assess their own memory functions– Metamemory (MM)– find little evidence that this function is susceptible to age-related decline. Our study examines OAs’ and young adults’ (YAs) MM performance and strategy use. Groups of YAs (N = 138) and OAs (N = 79) performed a MM task that …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Studies Investigating the Role of the DLPFC in Memory and Metamemory
<p>Metamemory, broadly defined as knowledge about one’s own memory, is thought to consist of two separate processes, monitoring, the ability to assess the contents of your own memory, and control, altering behavior in service of memory, that work together to aide in encoding and retrieval …

Learnin' 'bout my generation: The effects of generation on encoding, recall, and metamemory
… examined how encoding strategies, recall, and metamemory shift across two study-test experiences. Differential recall of generate targets and read targets on Test 1 led participants to develop an improved encoding strategy for their more poorly recalled target type, thus eliminating …

Mechanisms of prospective memory performance: exploring depression-related impairments in metamemory, cue detection, and intention retrieval
… in these specific neurophysiological components. Metamemory, or how an individual thinks of their own memory abilities, may predict overall PM performance; metamemory guides how an individual encodes their intended future goal, monitors the environment for the cue, and sets reminders to complete …

Novel Applications of Statistical and Machine Learning Methods to Analyze Trial-Level Data from Cognitive Measures
… focuses mainly on task-based measures of metamemory and how within-set variability as well as item-level characteristics can improve the inferences researchers make about these measures.First, a clustering analysis of judgements of learning across a task is examined in order to detect …

Novel metacognitive problem-solving task for 8- to 11-year-old students
… known to be associated with metacognition and a metamemory task. The results indicate the novel task is reliable and valid. It operationalizes metacognitive measures similarly to a classical metamemory task, suggesting that the new task could be a bridge between existing measures of metacognition …

Tip-of-the-tongue States in Aging: Evidence From Behavioral and Neuroimaging Studies
Metamemory is defined as the knowledge about one's memory capabilities and about strategies that can aid memory (Shimamura, 1994). One particularly intriguing type of metamemory judgment is a tip-of-the-tongue experience, which refers to a strong feeling that a target word, though presently not …

The Interplay of Linguistic and Cognitive Factors in Predicting Reading Comprehension: A Case of Primary School Children from the United Kingdom and China
… and cognitive (executive functions and metamemory) skills in predicting English reading comprehension in 269 children in the United Kingdom, aged between 9.51 and 11.50. Structural equation modelling and path analyses were run. Vocabulary, syntactic awareness, and paragraph comprehension …

MEMORY AND DEFAULT NETWORK ACTIVATION AS A FUNCTION OF APOE GENOTYPE
… learn word pairs during an encoding phase, make metamemory evaluations on their ability to later remember each word pair during a judgment of learning (JOL) task, and try to discriminate between original and recombined word pairs during a final recognition phase. Interspersed between these tasks …

Self-efficacy and allocation of effort during reading among older and younger adults
… younger adults and 74 older adults completed the Metamemory in Adulthood Questionnaire (MIA; Dixon, Hultsch & Hertzog, 1988), Reading Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (RSEQ), and Media Consumption Habits Questionnaire. Using the on-line word-by-word moving window method, participants read 24 …

Information processing in narcolepsy
… subjective analysis of memory function using the Metamemory in Adulthood Instrument to compare aspects of subjective memory dysfunction between narcoleptic subjects,subjects with excessive daytime sleepiness not associated with narcolepsy, and controls. The analysis indicates narcoleptics have …

Judgments of Learning and Retrospective Confidence Judgments: A Qualitative Exploration of Difference in Processes
<p>Many studies of metamemorial confidence have found differences in calibration and resolution between two similar confidence judgments – judgments of learning (JOLs) and retrospective confidence judgments (RCJs). These findings have led to competing theories of the processes involved in JOLs and …

How Physical Activity And Time of Day Influence Judgments of Learning and Free Recall
Previous research suggests the existence of a time of day (TOD) effect in cognitive functioning such that people have an optimal time each day during which their cognitive functions peak: typically, older adults peak in the morning and younger adults peak in the evening (May, Hasher, & Stolzfus, …

How Varying Levels of Acute Exercise Influence Cognitive Functions
Previous studies have demonstrated cognitive benefits associated with memory following acute bouts of aerobic exercise. Associated with its effects on memory, aerobic exercise has been shown to inhibit the progression of cognitive deterioration associated with aging as well as increase the …
