Individual Differences and Metacognitive Knowledge of Visual Search Strategy
A crucial ability for an organism is to orient toward important objects and to ignore temporarily irrelevant objects. Attention provides the perceptual selectivity necessary to filter an overwhelming input of sensory information to allow for efficient object detection. Although much research has examined visual search and the 'template' of attentional set that allows for target detection, the b...
متن کاملIncreasing Visual Search Accuracy by Being Watched
In daily life, huge costs can arise from just one incorrect performance on a visual search task (e.g., a fatal accident due to a driver overlooking a pedestrian). One potential way to prevent such drastic accidents would be for people to modify their decision criterion (e.g., placing a greater priority on accuracy rather than speed) during a visual search. The aim of the present study was to ma...
متن کاملAltering movement parameters disrupts metacognitive accuracy
Correctly estimating the confidence we should have in our decisions has traditionally been viewed as a perceptual judgement based solely on the strength or quality of sensory information. However, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the motor system contributes to judgements of perceptual confidence. Here, we manipulated the speed at which participants' moved using a behavioural priming...
متن کاملDomain-specific impairment in metacognitive accuracy following anterior prefrontal lesions
Humans have the capacity to evaluate the success of cognitive processes, known as metacognition. Convergent evidence supports a role for anterior prefrontal cortex in metacognitive judgements of perceptual processes. However, it is unknown whether metacognition is a global phenomenon, with anterior prefrontal cortex supporting metacognition across domains, or whether it relies on domain-specifi...
متن کاملMetacognitive Knowledge and Metacognitive Regulation in Time-Constrained in Information Search
Learning in search can take the form of changes in conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge at a cognitive level. Searchers may also gain insights into their cognitive process though their metacognitive experiences and thereby acquire metacognitive knowledge which may also influence their search process and outcomes. This paper describes the concepts of metacognition, metacognitive knowled...
