The γ correlations between confidence in the factual accuracy of responses in the initial test and correct performance in Phase 3, in which participants were retested and were asked to provide the factually correct answer to each question. The solid black bar represents the standard hypercorrection condition in which an error had been committed in Phase 1 and true feedback was given. The white bar represents the condition in which the participant had originally been correct in Phase 1 and false feedback was given. On the left are 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 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
