Factors that increase or decrease confidence as measured by JOLs are similar to, but not identical to those that cause FOKs to increase or decrease. While it is important to examine what causes JOLs to be accurate, understanding the factors that affect confidence levels is also important in better understanding metacognitive judgments. However, these factors are not identical to those that cause JOLs to be accurate, and they do not necessarily need to be manipulated in all experiments examining JOLs.
