Answer Changing and Statistics.
Penfield, Douglas A.; Mercer, Maryann
Educational Research Quarterly, v5 n1 p50-57 Spr 1980

The results show that students who make changes in their original responses significantly improve their overall test performance, and high-scoring students make a greater number of changes than low-scoring students.
