Journal Article
ABDULLA, A. and WOODS, R. 2025. I did it before, so I can do it again(?): recalling success, expectations of future success and the impact of ease-of-retrieval and attributions. Psychological research [online], 89(4), article number 117. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-025-02136-x

It is widely assumed that recalling past success raises expectations of future success ("expectancy"). However, experimental research investigating that assumption has generated mixed results. The present study examined two (meta)cognitive factors th...
