Developmental Aspects of the Feeling of Knowing.
Butterfield, Earl C.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n5 p654-63 Sep 1988
Two studies that avoided methodological problems associated with inconclusive previous reports found that 6-year-olds had less reliable feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgments but greater FOK accuracy than did 10- or 18-year-olds. Moreover, 18- and 70-year- olds had equally reliable FOK judgments and equivalent FOK accuracy. (RH)
