The current research investigated the impact of self-referencing (SR) on feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgements to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these metamemory judgements and specifically test the relationship between recollective experiences and FOK accuracy within the accessibility framework FOK judgements are thought to be by-products of the retrieval process and are therefore closely related to memory performance. Because relating information to one's self is one of the factors enhancing memory performance we investigated the effect of self-related encoding on FOK accuracy and recollective experience. We compared performance on this condition to a separate deep processing condition in which participants reported the frequency of occurrence of pairs of words. Participants encoded pairs of words incidentally and following a delay interval they attempted at retrieving each target prompted by its cue. Then they were re-presented with all cues and asked to provide FOK ratings regarding their likelihood of recognising the targets amongst distractors. Finally they were given a surprise recognition task in which following each response they identified whether the response was remembered known or just guessed. Our results showed that only SR at encoding resulted in better memory higher FOK accuracy and increased recollective experience.

The relationship between executive functions episodic feeling-of-knowing and confidence judgements

Metamemory processes and executive control may be related given that both are frontally mediated. However previous behavioural research has been limited in identifying common processes driving this somewhat weak relationship partly because they mostly relied upon global executive measures and composite scores of executive function (EF). The present study investigated the relationship between specific EFs (task shifting interference resolution) working memory capacity and feeling-of-knowing (FOK) and confidence judgements (CONF) in an episodic memory task. We found that of the EFs only task-switching performance was correlated with FOK accuracy and proposed a shared mechanism that may be at play in both task-switching and FOK judgements. We also demonstrated that interference resolution and episodic memory measures were related suggesting strategic influences on memory retrieval. Finally we found a strong consistency in the strength and accuracy of FOK and CONF judgements possibly due to retrieval-based mechanisms in both types of judgements.
