Feeling lucky? Prospective and retrospective cues for sensorimotor confidence

Abstract: On a daily basis, humans interact with the outside world using judgments of sensorimotor confidence, constantly evaluating our actions for success. We ask, what sensory and motor-execution cues are used in making these judgements and when are they available? Two sources of temporally distinct information are prospective cues, available prior to the action (e.g., knowledge of motor noise and past performance), and retrospective cues specific to the action itself (e.g., proprioceptive measurements). We investiga… Show more

“…Specifically, we recorded the diameters of the spheres that participants were instructed to draw after each sound localization response, and we analyzed these measurements as an indicator of uncertainty. In line with the recent work by Fassold et al ( 2023 ), we incorporated this measure to capture a spatial dimension of the feeling of uncertainty directly relevant to the task's objective: Defining the spatial position of sounds. Interestingly, sphere diameters increased more during the cocktail party condition compared to the traffic and nature noise conditions.…”

“…By introducing this measure, we added a secondary aim to the study: to observe whether this measure could be modulated by the proposed manipulations and could help describe the metacognitive/evaluative processes related to acoustic space perception. A similar procedure was recently adopted by Fassold et al ( 2023 ) to measure confidence. They involved participants in a reaching-toward-visually targets task and asked them to change the size of a circle (2d) centered on the reach-target location to determine their level of confidence.…”

“…It is important to recognize that the extent to which strategies are reportable and/or intentional may exist on a continuum rather than a dichotomy. Participants might articulate a strategy with varying levels of confidence ( Fassold et al, 2023 ; Hewitson et al, 2023 ; Yokoi and Weiler, 2022 ) or require degrees of deliberation depending on the cognitive resources available ( Haith et al, 2015 ; Song and Bédard, 2015 ).…”

“…In other words, participants in these studies are often aware of how likely it is that they were correct (see e.g., Rouault, Dayan, & Fleming, 2019). However, internal performance monitoring is not the only cue to confidence (Boldt, Schiffer, & Yeung, 2019;Fassold, Locke, & Landy, 2023;Locke, Landy, & Mamassian, 2022); external feedback can play a role in further calibrating confidence, independent of participants' internal awareness of their performance (Kluger & DeNisi, 1996;Rouault et al, 2019). Our task was uniquely suited to test how feedback impacts confidence independently of performance, since feedback was non-veridical, and people were not able to accurately assess their performance.…”
