Psy 402 Topic 6 DQ 1 Discuss the effects of metacognitive regulation on memory performance. Hi Professor and class, There was a study done that determines the increase in study time resulted in little or no gain in recalling information. Metcalfe and her associates found that learners allocated most time to medium-difficulty items and studied the easiest items first (Koriat,2007). Another study determined improved accuracy resulted in more effective regulation of study and, in turn, in overall better test performance. “Thus, learners seem to rely on their metacognitive feelings in regulating their behavior, and to the extent that these feelings are accurate, such self-regulation helps improve memory performance” (Koriat,2007).
