Subclaims¶

q3 i2 A mixed ANOVA on each participant's first condition only again showed a significant three-way interaction of condition, selection and confidence (generalized eta squared = 0.1). → Lorenz Weise 2022

Lorenz Weise, Saskia D. Forster, Siegfried Gauggel. (2022). Reverse-correlation reveals internal error-corrections during information-seeking. Metacognition and Learning (2022) 17:321–335. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-021-09286-4

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Control analysis reducing the dataset to a third, with condition as a between-participant factor. The article reports the three-way interaction again significant, F(2, 24) = 5.28, effect size generalized eta squared (ɳG2) = 0.1, confirming the reversed low-confidence info-seeking weights, though only the positive non-selected weight reached significance.

"The three way interaction between condition, selection and confidence was again significant ( F(2, 24) = 5.28, p = 0.013, ɳG2 = 0.1)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Reverse-correlation decision weights are positive for the chosen stimulus dimension and weaker on low-confidence trials across confidence-assessment methods — related
• Internal error-corrections, not correct-to-incorrect changes-of-mind, produce the inverted low-confidence decision weights — related
• Primary task accuracy is higher in the info-seeking condition than in the explicit reports and wagering conditions — related
• Low-confidence info-seeking trials show inverted decision weights, unlike explicit reports and post-decision wagering — related
• A single decision-and-confidence model with no condition-specific parameters fits decision weights across all three methods — reports the opposite
