    "title": "High-Performing Readers Underestimate Their Text Comprehension:\nArtifact or Psychological Reality?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We focused on the controversy whether high-performing\nreaders consistently underestimate their comprehension or are\nprone to detrimental overestimations as much as less skilled\nreaders are. Therefore, we conducted an experiment (N = 105\nuniversity students) to investigate judgment bias as a function\nof reading skill and text difficulty in terms of text cohesion.\nResults showed that the easy text produced underestimation of\ncomprehension, whereas the hard text led to overestimation.\nFurthermore, readers with higher reading skills were less prone\nto overestimate their comprehension of a hard text than less\nskilled readers. However, we also found that more skilled\nreaders showed lower sensitivity in discriminating between\ncorrect and incorrect answers than less skilled readers. Overall,\nour results do not support the idea that high-performing readers\nconsistently underestimate their text comprehension. Findings\nare discussed with respect to readers’ awareness of different\ntext-based judgment cues and their (beliefs about their) reading\nskill.",
