Illusion of knowledge in statistics among clinicians: evaluating the alignment between objective accuracy and subjective confidence, an online survey

By Camille Lakhlifi, François-Xavier Lejeune, Marion Rouault, Mehdi Khamassi & Benjamin Rohaut

Cognitive Research Principles & Implications

Medical professionals' lack of statistical proficiency can negatively affect decision-making. Lakhlifi and colleagues investigated physicians', residents', and medical students' confidence judgments and accuracy in basic medical statistics. They found confidence judgments could differentiate between correct and incorrect answers. Read this paper.

Credible narrators and misinformed readers

by Kenneth J. Houghton, Rachel C. Poirier & Celia M. Klin   

This study explores how readers evaluate the accuracy of facts embedded in fiction and whether the narrator's credibility impacts recall. Credibility did not affect memory for accurate information, but participants were more likely to remember misinformation when a credible narrator delivered it. Read this paper.

Drawing your way to an A: Long-lasting improvements in classroom quiz performance following drawing

By Shaela T. Jalava, Jeffrey D. Wammes & Ken Cheng 

Jalava et al. investigated whether drawing can enhance memory when participants create free-form drawings. Participants either drew or copied definitions of course-related terms and were tested on their recall. Drawing led to better recall than copying, even after three weeks. Read this paper.
