[Relationship between recognition judgments and confidence ratings for repeated test items].
Eighty-nine participants performed a set of recognition judgment and confidence rating tasks twice. Half of the new items presented in the second task had already presented as old items to the participants in the first task. Analysis of the second task responses, showed a positive correlation between confidence and performance for the old items, and a negative correlation for the new items. In particular, a strong negative correlation was observed when items presented in the first task were presented as "new" in the second task. This negative correlation reflects "source monitoring error" where the participants falsely recognized the items in the first task as those presented in the second, because they were unaware of making source misattributions.
