  • Judgments of learning improve multiple-choice recognition but not short-answer recall of educational text passages

    Nicholas P Maxwell, Mckinzie AdkinsARTICLEMemory2026

    Judgments of learning (JOLs) can improve memory for cue-target word pairs (i.e., JOL reactivity). Prior research suggests that this effect does not extend to text passage learning, especially when memory is assessed using short-answer tests (e.g., Ariel, R., Karpicke, J. D., Witherby, A. E., & Tauber, S. K. (2021). Do judgments of learning directly enhance learning of educational materials? Educational Psychology Review, 33(2), 693–712. https://d…

  • Must we do this again? Evaluating JOL carryover effects in cued-recall

    Open AccessAmelia G Morehead, Mark J Huff et al.ARTICLEMemory2026

    Providing Judgments of Learning (JOLs) for cue-target pairs at study often improves recall for related pairs versus a silent reading control task, a pattern termed JOL reactivity. While reactivity patterns have been found consistently using a variety of stimuli and test types, they appear to only occur when participants are explicitly instructed to provide JOLs. Whether JOL reactivity can carry over to cue-target pairs when JOLs are not directly …

  • Facial Formidability Uniquely Informs Perceptions of White and Asian Men

    Open AccessMitch Brown, Lindsey E Eagan et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2025References: 63

    Perceivers rely on men's facial width‐to‐height ratio (fWHR) as the basis of several stereotypes about men's proclivities as parents. High‐fWHR men are perceived as especially prone toward disciplining their offspring. Nonetheless, such ascriptions may vary across different racial categories based on concomitant parenting stereotypes for different cultures. One such stereotype could include a proclivity toward tough love, frequently described as …

  • Judgments of learning improve memory for word lists via enhanced item-specific encoding

    Nicholas P MaxwellARTICLEMemory2025References: 51

    Judgments of Learning (JOLs) have been repeatedly shown to be reactive on memory. However, the specific processes underlying JOL reactivity differ based on the type of stimuli participants study and the method by which their memory is assessed. Recently, item-specific encoding has been proposed as a mechanism explaining JOL reactivity on word list learning. To test this account, participants studied categorised and uncategorised word lists (Exper…

  • Cost of Public Goods Affects Willingness to Pay for Them

    Open AccessJonathan Baron, Neville Maxwell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…1996References: 1

    We provided information about costs and benefits of public goods, mostly forms of risk reduction. Judgments of willingness to pay (WTP) for the goods was affected by cost as well as benefit, even when subjects judged the benefit to be unaffected by cost. Cost information affected WTP when it took the form of estimated cost or when it was simply implied by past expenditures or by descriptions of how a good would be provided. Cost affected WTP both…
