A Study on the Correlation between FOK Judgments in Metamemory Monitoring and Second Language Vocabulary Learning among Non-English Major College Students

Yaling Duan

Abstract


The purpose of this study is to find the correlation between Feeling of Knowing (FOK) judgments in metamemory
monitoring and second language vocabulary learning among non-English major college students. The participants are all from Tibet
University, and there are 46 collegians from advanced class and 56 collegians from beginner class, the study aims to report the current status
of their English vocabulary breadth, and the mechanism behind FOK judgments. The RJR classical paradigm was used to demonstrate
the FOK mechanisms, we found that the two classes primarily use different FOK mechanisms, the beginner class tends to choose cue_x005ffamiliarity, while the advanced class used both mechanisms. However, both classes showed higher utilization of cue-familiarity than item
target-accessibility mechanisms, consistent with previous studies.
