Hybridization may generate novel trait values and combinations, enabling hybrid lineages to exploit new niches. While phenotypic differences among hybrids and parents are well characterized, it is less well understood if behaviors are likely to be intermediate, mosaic, or transgressive, outside the parental ranges of values. To address how behavioral traits evolve in hybrid lineages, we use the ho

I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall.
