The result: negligible effect ⚡

Metacognitive efficiency is robust to report order—it need not constrain study design and secondary analysis...

But watch out if you use regression measures?! 😱

We tested this directly, 2 experiments (perception & memory, n=175) controlling for ⏱️ timing and ✋ motor preparation.

7 registered hypotheses and 3 different measures unpacked order bias from all angles.

Our #RegisteredReport tested whether the order of task decisions and confidence ratings bias #metacognition.

Some said decisions → confidence enhances metacognition. If true, decades of findings will be affected.

I will share our findings at #ASSC27 about the mental effort of #metacognition + its consequences for a famous metacognitive phenomenon… 1️⃣💦2️⃣

We know that time ⏰ and movements 👋 affect metacognition. Yet many of us use a protocol that ensures a time-consuming action before every confidence rating.

Would your results be the same if you used a different report order? 🤔

🎉 Our #RegisteredReport on report order & #metacognition accepted-in-principle Communications Psychology!

Why do we collect #confidence ratings after task decisions?

As a grad student, this puzzled me. We used one order in every study, but others flipped it or collected both together 🔄

Apart from metacognition, one of several other obsessions of mine is craft beer.

Couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit Green Bench, the 'Burgs best hop & foeder technicians.

#VSS and #metacognition? Stop by my poster on Sunday and let's discuss the mental cost of perceptual metacognition and confidence.

Parents finally made it over to 🇯🇵

My grandad owned a small corner store in Stafford, Queensland. It's practically unimaginable that someone from our family would eventually work overseas.

We love stumbling upon these random vendors, leave 100円(🇦🇺 ~$1) and take a full bag of eggplants! Anyone have a good babaganoush recipe?
