{"pk":28745,"title":"The Impact of Meta-memory Judgments on Undergraduate’s Learning andMemory Performance.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We examined if using meta-memory judgments to controlrestudy choices has a positive impact on undergraduatestudents’ memory performance, or whether simply makingmeta-memory judgments improved memory performance. 72undergraduates at the University of Exeter were randomlydivided into three groups. Participants in group A, had a chanceto make meta-memory judgments and restudied the words theychose (self- selection). Participants in group B, also mademeta-memory judgments, but restudy for this group wasmatched to that of Group A (control 1). Group C did not havea chance to make meta-memory judgments and were alsomatched to Group A for restudy opportunities (control 2). Theresults indicated that making meta-memory judgments had apositive overall impact on memory performance ifundergraduates were allowed to control their restudyopportunities. Groups B and C showed no differences inmemory performance, which means that making meta-memoryjudgments did not automatically improve memoryperformance. Group A restudied more of the words that theyhad rated as least well learned, and there were no significantdifferences between groups on test for the restudied words.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Meta-memory Judgment (MJ)"},{"word":"Restudy Choices"},{"word":"learning"},{"word":"Memory."}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/47j9f2w3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Salwa","middle_name":"Ali H","last_name":"Humsani","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Exeter","department":""},{"first_name":"Ciro","middle_name":"","last_name":"Civile","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Exeter","department":""},{"first_name":"I.
