Abstract

Studies of decision making reveal individual differences, not just in perception, memory, categorization, and other cognitive skills that support judgment, but also in the metacognitive processes that monitor confidence and uncertainty. Two experiments are described in the present report in which a psychophysical uncertainty task was used to assess these individual differences, their relation to personality and temperament differences, and the possibility of improving how optimally people respond to their own uncertainty.
