Confidence in the Real World

Dobromir Rahnev. Trends Cogn Sci. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Humans often assign confidence to multioption decisions, but most computational research only uses two-alternative tasks. In a new study, Li and Ma begin to reveal the mechanisms of confidence generation in multialternative tasks. This research should inspire further experiments on how humans assign confidence judgments in real-world situations.

Keywords: computational modeling; confidence; metacognition; multialternative decisions; perceptual decision making.
