How Does Stimulus Difficulty Impact Study Time Allocation in Younger Adults?

Abstract

We expect to find relationships between item-specific restudy time and (1) a person’s memory of their past test performance (a recollection of getting an answer correct or incorrect previously); (2) participants’ impressions of item difficulty following an initial study attempt; (3) objective memory accuracy during an initial test (prior to restudy); (4) subjective memory test confidence; (5) objective response times to test stimuli; and (6) subjective response time estimates (i.e., how fast they think they responded to test questions).
