Performance monitoring is a key cognitive function, allowing to detect mistakes and adapt
future behavior. Post-decisional neural signals have been identified that are sensitive to …

The ability to change initial decisions in the face of new or potentially conflicting information
is fundamental to adaptive behavior. From perceptual tasks to multiple-choice tests …

A prominent source of polarised and entrenched beliefs is confirmation bias, where
evidence against one's position is selectively disregarded. This effect is most starkly evident …

When knowledge is scarce, it is adaptive to seek further information to resolve uncertainty
and obtain a more accurate worldview. Biases in such information-seeking behavior can …

While often seeming to investigate rather different problems, research into value-based
decision making and cognitive control have historically offered parallel insights into how …

Moral behavior is susceptible to peer influence. How does information from peers influence
moral preferences? We used drift-diffusion modeling to show that peer influence changes …

Humans differ in their capability to judge choice accuracy via confidence judgments. Popular
signal detection theoretic measures of metacognition, such as M-ratio, do not consider the …

Human observers can reliably report their confidence in the choices they make. An
influential framework conceptualizes decision confidence as the probability of a decision …

The human prefrontal cortex (PFC) constitutes the structural basis underlying flexible
cognitive control, where mixed-selective neural populations encode multiple task features to …

The metacognitive sense of confidence can play a critical role in regulating decision making.
In particular, a lack of confidence can justify the explicit, potentially costly, instrumental …
