Subjective Confidence in Perceptual Judgments: A Test of the Self-Consistency Model
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Koriat, Asher – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
Two questions about subjective confidence in perceptual judgments are examined: the bases for these judgments and the reasons for their accuracy. Confidence in perceptual judgments has been claimed to rest on qualitatively different processes than confidence in memory tasks. However, predictions from a self-consistency model (SCM), which had been…

Koriat, Asher; Ackerman, Rakefet; Lockl, Kathrin; Schneider, Wolfgang – Cognitive Development, 2009
A previous study with adults [Koriat, A. (2008a). "Easy comes, easy goes? The link between learning and remembering and its exploitation in metacognition." "Memory & Cognition," 36, 416-428] established a correlation between learning and remembering: items requiring more trials to acquisition (TTA) were less likely to be recalled than those…

Hoffmann-Biencourt, Anja; Lockl, Kathrin; Schneider, Wolfgang; Ackerman, Rakefet; Koriat, Asher – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2010
Recent work on metacognition indicates that monitoring is sometimes based itself on the feedback from control operations. Evidence for this pattern has not only been shown in adults but also in elementary schoolchildren. To explore whether this finding can be generalized to a wide range of age groups, 160 participants from first to eighth grade…

The Credibility of Children's Testimony: Can Children Control the Accuracy of Their Memory Reports?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koriat, Asher; Goldsmith, Morris; Schneider, Wolfgang; Nakash-Dura, Michal – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Three experiments examined children's strategic regulation of memory accuracy. Found that younger (7 to 9 years) and older (10 to 12 years) children could enhance the accuracy of their testimony by screening out wrong answers under free-report conditions. Findings suggest a developmental trend in level of memory accuracy actually achieved.…
