Abstract
Results showed that repeated checking led to reductions in memory confidence. Furthermore, re-checking led to automatization of checking procedures, but automatization did not mediate the relationship between repeated checking and memory confidence. Defamiliarization did not lead to de-automatization, nor did defamiliarization attenuate the detrimental effects of re-checking on memory confidence.
