Abstract(s)
Várias linhas de investigação da memória recorrem a questões de conhecimento geral como estímulo,
utilizando dados de exatidão e confiança na resposta às mesmas. Estudos prévios revelam que a
dificuldade das questões pode dificultar o estudo de vários fenómenos, pelo que é necessário controlo
sobre a sua seleção. O presente estudo procurou desenvolver e testar um conjunto de questões de
conhecimento geral que possam ser utilizados no futuro. Os participantes responderam a 40 questões
de conhecimento geral e teceram julgamentos de confiança relativos à resposta a cada uma das
questões. Nos resultados são apresentadas as médias de exatidão e confiança de cada questão. Este
estudo providencia novo material a ser utilizado em investigações futuras, permitindo a escolha de
questões pela sua exatidão e confiança ou até pelo viés de resposta.
Several research lines on memory use general knowledge questions as stimulus to gather data on accuracy and confidence. Previous studies have shown that the difficulty of the items may hamper the study of various phenomena, whereby control over the selection of stimuli is necessary. The present study aimed to develop and test a set of general knowledge questions that can be used in future research. The participants answered to 40 general knowledge questions and judged their confidence with regard to each answer. On the results we present the means of accuracy and confidence for each question. This study provides new material to be used in future research, allowing the selection of questions by their accuracy and confidence and even at response bias.
