Almost all models of visual memory implicitly assume that errors in mnemonic
representations are linearly related to distance in stimulus space. Here we show that neither …

Our perceptual experiences are accompanied by a subjective sense of certainty. These
confidence judgements typically correlate meaningfully with the probability that the relevant …

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 …

Face recognition memory is often tested by the police using a photo lineup, which consists of
one suspect, who is either innocent or guilty, and five or more physically similar fillers, all of …

Current dominant views hold that perceptual confidence reflects the probability that a
decision is correct. Although these views have enjoyed some empirical support, recent …

How can choice, confidence, and response times be modeled simultaneously? Here, we
propose the new dynamical weighted evidence and visibility (dynWEV) model, an extension …

Confidence in a perceptual decision is a subjective estimate of the accuracy of one's choice.
As such, confidence is thought to be an important computation for a variety of cognitive and …

Psychophysical studies on confidence construction are often grounded in bidimensional
signal detection theory (SDT) and its relatives. However, these studies often stand on …

When a face is positively identified from a multi-person photo lineup, it is presumably the
face that generates the strongest memory signal. In addition, confidence in a positive …

Confidence judgments in 2-alternative decisions have been the subject of a great deal of
research in cognitive psychology. Sequential sampling models have been particularly …
