calibration curve  

Definition

  • Curve plotting memory performance against the level of confidence that subjects attribute to their memory performance. The curve obtained is compared to the diagonal, which represents a perfect calibration. A curve below the diagonal indicates a tendency to be overconfident in one's memory. A curve above the diagonal indicates underconfidence in one's memory (after Eakin & Moss, 2019).
