Figure 1. Frequency distribution of discrepancy between estimated accuracy (number correct out of 10) and observed accuracy on the 10-item Weekly Calendar Planning Activity. Positive values of Awareness Discrepancy indicate overestimation and negative values indicate underestimation.

Frequency histogram with bars depicting for the stroke group and the control group, the number of participants who overestimated or underestimated their performance. There is a clear shift in the stroke group demonstrating a tendency to overestimate.

Figure 2. Percent of sample classified as having poor awareness (estimated accuracy – observed accuracy > 2) vs. good awareness, by group.

Stacked bar graph with two bars, one for the stroke group and one for the control group, depicting the percentage of each group that was classified as having good awareness vs. poor awareness. There is a larger percentage of the stroke group classified as having poor awareness.

Figure 3. Percent of sample classified as having poor awareness (estimated accuracy – observed accuracy > 2), mild unawareness (estimated accuracy – observed accuracy = 1-2) vs. good awareness, by group.

Stacked bar graph with two bars, one for the stroke group and one for the control group, depicting the percentage of each group that was classified as having normal awareness vs. mild unawareness vs. poor awareness. In the stroke group, there is a larger classified as having poor awareness, and a smaller percentage classified as having mild unawareness. The percentage of normal awareness is approximately the same in the stroke group and control group.

Figure 4. Unawareness by group as calculated by Awareness Level, the discrepancy between participants’ self-rating category (1-4) and accuracy category (also 1-4).

Stacked bar graph with two bars, one for the stroke group and one for the control group, depicting the percentage of each group that was classified as having overestimated by 3 categories, overestimated by 2 categories, overestimated by 1 category, or classified as “aware or underestimates”. There is a larger percentage of the stroke group classified as having overestimated by 3 or 2 categories.
