Confidence-Judgment Accuracy as a Predictor of Test Performance.

Shaughnessy, John J.

Journal of Research in Personality, v13 n4 p505-14 Dec 1979

To determine the extent of students' confidence-judgment accuracy (CJA) and the relationship of this memory-monitoring ability to overall test performance, undergraduates in a psychology course supplied confidence-judgments along with their answers on multiple-choice test items. CJA correlated positively with test performance. (Editor/SJL)
