The nature of metacognitive inefficiency in perceptual decision making.
Humans have the metacognitive ability to judge the accuracy of their own decisions via
confidence ratings. A substantial body of research has demonstrated that human …

Sources of metacognitive inefficiency
Confidence judgments are typically less informative about one's accuracy than they could
be; a phenomenon we call metacognitive inefficiency. We review the existence of different …

Sensory noise increases metacognitive efficiency.
Metacognitive efficiency quantifies people's ability to introspect into their own decision
making relative to their ability to perform the primary task. Despite years of research, it is still …

Metacognition in human decision-making: confidence and error monitoring
N Yeung, C Summerfield - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
People are capable of robust evaluations of their decisions: they are often aware of their
mistakes even without explicit feedback, and report levels of confidence in their decisions …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic influences on static measures of metacognition
Humans differ in their capability to judge choice accuracy via confidence judgments. Popular
signal detection theoretic measures of metacognition, such as M-ratio, do not consider the …

Examining the robustness of the relationship between metacognitive efficiency and metacognitive bias
We recently found a positive relationship between estimates of metacognitive efficiency and
metacognitive bias. However, this relationship was only examined on a within-subject level …

[HTML][HTML] How to measure metacognition
SM Fleming, HC Lau - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
The ability to recognize one's own successful cognitive processing, in eg, perceptual or
memory tasks, is often referred to as metacognition. How should we quantitatively measure …

Shared neural markers of decision confidence and error detection
Empirical evidence indicates that people can provide accurate evaluations of their own
thoughts and actions by means of both error detection and confidence judgments. This study …

A decision-congruent heuristic gives superior metacognitive sensitivity under realistic variance assumptions.
Psychophysical studies on confidence construction are often grounded in bidimensional
signal detection theory (SDT) and its relatives. However, these studies often stand on …
