Mean Squared Error Comparison: Immediate vs. 3-Week Delay Recall #1730598 (License: Personal Use)

This grouped bar chart displays mean squared error (MSE) for three conditions-Guess 1 (blue), Guess 2 (red), and their Average (green)-under two time conditions: Immediate and 3-week delay. Error bars indicate variability, showing that the Average strategy consistently outperforms individual guesses, especially after a 3-week delay where MSE increases for all but remains lowest for the average.

Used in cognitive science or psychology research articles to illustrate memory decay and estimation accuracy over time; supports discussions on ensemble averaging, metacognition, or judgment calibration.
