We put forward concept of knowledge (CKE) examine environmental influences group creativity. After reviewing research literature relevant creativity using CKE framework, we identify main promoting...

Problem solvers' error detection processes were studied by instructing 16 subjects to think aloud when solving two statistical problems. The evaluative episodes occurring in subjects' protocols analyzed into Affirmative evaluation, Direct error‐hypotheses, Error suspicion, and Standard check episodes, the last three of which are assumed cover all main types processes. Most errors (78%) found have contributed a solution part that triggered some episode. However, only one‐third undetected had...

Research on decision-making styles has shown that stylistic differences matter for real-life outcomes, but less research explored how relate to other between individuals. Heeding a call more systematic and theoretically sound understanding of styles, we investigated the relation specific aspects social orientation approach time in two samples (students, n = 118, police investigators, 90). The results regression analyses showed are related approach. Furthermore, structural equation model...

Abstract This study compared the realism of witnesses' confidence judgments their own recall elicited in either Cognitive Interview (CI) or Structured (SI). Calibration methodology was used to analyse judgments. Participants (N=56) were interviewed about observations a staged crime and returned 2 weeks later assess statements. The CI, as previous research, rendered significantly higher number correct recalled units with SI. In both interview conditions witnesses displayed high level accuracy...

The study investigated 2 aspects of the accuracy (i.e., realism) confidence judgments persons age 60-93 years (N = 1,384) regarding their answers to general knowledge questions. These are level (calibration) in relation proportion correct and ability discriminate between incorrect by means judgments. No differences were found for either aspects. Gender but not realism

Abstract This study investigated the effect of feedback on accuracy (realism) 12‐year‐old children's metacognitive judgments their answers to questions about a film clip. Two types were investigated: confidence (on each question) and frequency (i.e. estimates overall accuracy). The source feedback, whether it was presented as provided by teacher or peer child, did not influence accuracy. Four given depending participant's answer correct confirmed disconfirmed child's answer. children showed...
