Metacognition in psychophysical judgment: An unfolding view of comparative judgments of mental workload

Abstract: An experiment is reported in which it was found that when subjects were required to indicate which of two visual extents was more difficult to categorize as "long" or "short," they executed these categorizations and then measured the distance of the representation ofeach stimulus from the long-short category boundary; the stimulus nearer the boundary was judged to be the more difficult. When they were requested to indicate which was easier to categorize, they selected the alternative that was farther. Coombs's… Show more

“…2B). Compared to correct responses, RTs were longer for error responses (t-test, p<10 −6 , 13%–65% increase across subjects), and the error certainties were smaller accordingly (p<0.002)(Petrusic and Cloutier, 1992; Pierrel and Murray, 1963; Vickers and Smith, 1985). Importantly, among the error responses themselves, subjects were more confident about faster errors (Eq.…”

“…Like SDT, most bounded accumulation models attribute certainty to the state of the evidence at the time of decision (Beck et al, 2008; Petrusic and Cloutier, 1992; Van Zandt and Maldonado-Molina, 2004; Vickers, 1979; cf. Audley, 1960; Juslin and Olsson, 1997).…”

“…Enhanced SCEs follow, as in the single-sample case, from the assumption that the increased demands on memory for the instruction slow the code-matching and code translation processes. This postdecisional response translation notion, however, is clear in predicting smaller SCE effects in RTs for error responses than for correct responses, as derived by Petrusic and Cloutier (1992), contrary to the clearly larger observed SCEs on error trials than on correct trials (Petrusic, 1992;Petrusic & Baranski, 1989a, 1989b.…”

“…Feelings of fluency are also known to play a role in metaperception, in tasks such as detection, discrimination or recognition (Jacoby & Dallas, 1981;Petrusic & Baranski, 1989;Petrusic & Cloutier, 1992;Wurtz, Reber, & Zimmermann, 2008), whether in prospective, or in retrospective self-evaluations. No research has been conducted, however, about how the amount of effort engaged in a given change detection trial influences CBB for that trial.…”
