Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct access theories propose that our memory judgments are based on the same processes that allow us to remember in the first place, rather than relying on specific cues or heuristics. These theories explain both metacognitive monitoring and control, as well as post-answer confidence, by suggesting that we use our memory processes to make these judgments. While they may not always result in higher recall scores than other theories, direct access theories provide a more comprehensive explanation of metacognition.
