| Metamemory monitoring and control are two important aspects of metamemory Monitoring is referred to the cognitive and judgment of individual’s memory process, and whether the monitoring is valid is measured by the accuracy of Judgment of learning. Metamemory control is that learners timely adjust the process of learning process taking into all factors, such as study-time allocation, choosing which item to study and so on. Not all Learners benefited from being allowed to control their study. However metacognitive monitoring is useful only if coupled with an effective control strategy. If the monitoring was accurate, but the learner chose improper learning strategy, it also could led bad memory performance. Test was a useful study strategy, it was not only as assessment devices to measure what we knew, but also could improve our memory.The study included two experiment designs in order to improve accuracy of metamemory monitoring and control and efficiency of memory. Experiment1took the form of two-factor mixed design to investigate the effect of memory way on recall performance, and explored the reason. Experimental results showed that:a) the recall performance was significantly worse in the Self-regulated condition than the Repetitive learning condition. b)self-regulated subjects predicted their performance accurately. c)the distribution of JOL converged on moderate levels. Experiment2took the form of two-factor mixed design and made a further study on investigating how the test affected the memory monitoring and control and efficiency of memory. Experimental results showed that:a) the recall performance of self-regulated condition was better than Repetitive learning condition both in immediate recall and delay recall condition when added test. b) subjects in the test group were quite accurate in predicting the likelihood that they would be able to recall the items. c) when the subjects of test condition stopped the study, their distribution of JOL converged on0%and100%. |
