The reactivity effect of metacognitive judgments on first-order task performance has received increased research attention. Previous studies showed that soliciting retrospective confidence ratings (CRs) reactively enhances task performance itself, su...

Studies involving the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) planning scale typically use only the subtest and scale scores without assessing the strategies employed by the participants. This study addressed this gap and examined the planning strategies u...

For mathematically identical risky decisions, different choices can be made depending on whether information about outcomes and their probabilities is learned by description or by experience, known as the description–experience gap. However, it...

Rewards act as external motivators and can improve performance in various cognitive tasks. However, previous research demonstrated mixed findings regarding the effect of reward on working memory (WM) performance, and the question of whether reward en...

The deliberate practice (DP) theory claims that expertise essentially reflects the accumulated amount of deliberate practice, and that with sufficient practice, genetic influences on expertise will be bypassed. Thus, a core prediction of the DP theor...

This study investigates the effects of math training on math and cognitive performance among 8–9 year-old students with low attention. Fifty-six students with low attention were randomly assigned to a training group (n = 24) and a passive contr...

Figural matrices tests are common in intelligence research and have been used to draw conclusions regarding secular changes in intelligence. However, their measurement properties have seldom been evaluated with large samples that include both sexes....

Examining the relationship between self-assessed intelligence (SAI) and psychometric intelligence (IQ) is essential for understanding how people’s self-evaluations reflect their actual intelligence. Various factors, such as SAI measurement meth...

This article investigated whether crossmodal correspondence, as a sensory translation phenomenon, can mediate crossmodal transfer from visual to auditory stimuli in category learning and whether multimodal category learning can influence the crossmod...
