Question 12

Koriat, Bjork, Sheffer, and Bar (2004) examined people's abilities to anticipate forgetting.One group's judgments of learning were directed at a test to be taken in 10 minutes whereas another groups' judgments of learning were directed at a test to be taken 1 week later.They found that the judgments of learning were identical, even though those in the 1-week retention interval recalled fewer items than those in the 10-minute retention interval.

A) True 
 B)False
