Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

In humans and other gregarious animals, collective decision-making is a robust behavioural
feature of groups. Pooling individual information is also fundamental for modern societies, in …

Metacognition–the ability to represent, monitor and control ongoing cognitive processes–
helps us perform many tasks, both when acting alone and when working with others. While …

Metacognition is the capacity to evaluate and control one's own cognitive processes.
Metacognition operates over a range of cognitive domains, such as perception and memory …

Confidence judgments are typically less informative about one's accuracy than they could
be; a phenomenon we call metacognitive inefficiency. We review the existence of different …

We review the literature to identify common problems of decision-making in individuals and
groups. We are guided by a Bayesian framework to explain the interplay between past …

Our confidence in a choice and the evidence pertaining to a choice appear to be
inseparable. However, an emerging computational consensus holds that the brain should …

The two leading cognitive accounts of consciousness currently available concern global
workspace (a form of working memory) and metacognition. There is relatively little …

Curious information-seeking is known to be a key driver for learning, but characterizing this
important psychological phenomenon remains a challenge. In this article, we argue that …

The success of human cooperation crucially depends on mechanisms enabling individuals
to detect unreliability in their conspecifics. Yet, how such epistemic vigilance is achieved …
