A Three-Tier Diagnostic Test to Assess Pre-Service Teachers’ Misconceptions about Global Warming, Greenhouse Effect, Ozone Layer Depletion, and Acid Rain (2012, background): “These findings are consistent with those obtained by Pallier et al. (2002), and Renner and Renner (2001) who revealed that self-assessment in the cognitive domain produced overconfidence.”
The recalcitrance of overconfidence and its contribution to decision aid neglect (2005, methodology): “For example, Renner and Renner (2001) found that students were overconfident on introductory psychology quizzes, and that students in an experimental section who received calibration training achieved higher scores on subsequent tests than those in a control condition.”
Improving metacognition in the classroom through instruction, training, and feedback (2016, background): “Additionally, when feedback was paired with training, calibration improved (Huff and Nietfeld 2009; Lichtenstein and Fischhoff 1980; Renner and Renner 2001).”
