The dissociations of confidence from accuracy in forced-choice recognition judgments

Judgment of confidence in memory is likely to track accuracy if those factors shaping also shape confidence. In recognition memory, determined by the relative level evidence present for target and that supporting lures. As discrepancy between targets lures increases, so does likelihood correct responding. contrast, this study shows can instead depend on absolute chosen rather than balance four experiments, using different types forced-choice tests, we demonstrate generally manipulating strength affects judgments but varying creates robust confidence-accuracy dissociations, changing while not affecting Together, these data support an account dissociations across conditions are be ubiquitous.
