The γ correlations between confidence in the factual accuracy of responses in the initial test and correct performance in Phase 2, in which recalling the red feedback word, regardless of whether it was true or false, was considered correct. The solid black bar represents the standard hypercorrection condition in which the participant answered incorrectly in Phase 1 and was given true feedback. The white bar provides the γ correlations when the participant responded correctly in Phase 1 and false feedback was given. On the left are the results from Experiment 1, in which participants were not informed about whether the to-be-learned word, provided as feedback in red, was true or false. On the right are the results from Experiment 2, in which participants were informed, immediately upon being presented with the to-be-learned word in red, whether the feedback was true or false. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean
