Matthew G. Rhodes studies human memory and metacognition. With Alan D. Castel, he investigated how perceptual features such as print size influence judgments of learning. A feature could change predicted remembering without producing a matching change in later performance. The comparison separates a readily available cue from its actual predictive usefulness, illustrating how metacognitive judgments can depend on information that is salient but poorly calibrated to the final task.
