Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

When facing uncertainty, adaptive behavioral strategies demand that the brain performs
probabilistic computations. In this probabilistic framework, the notion of certainty and …

Choosing among spatially distributed options is a central challenge for animals, from
deciding among alternative potential food sources or refuges to choosing with whom to …

People are often aware of their mistakes, and report levels of confidence in their choices that
correlate with objective performance. These metacognitive assessments of decision quality …

Skilled sensorimotor interactions with the world result from a series of decision-making
processes that determine, on the basis of information extracted during the unfolding …

Sequential sampling models assume that people make speeded decisions by gradually
accumulating noisy information until a threshold of evidence is reached. In cognitive …

Decisions take time, and as a rule more difficult decisions take more time. But this only
raises the question of what consumes the time. For decisions informed by a sequence of …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

Background Distortions in metacognition—the ability to reflect on and control other cognitive
processes—are thought to be characteristic of poor mental health. However, it remains …
