  • Conscious awareness is required for holistic face processing

    Open AccessVadim Axelrod, Geraint ReesARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2014

    Investigating the limits of unconscious processing is essential to understand the function of consciousness. Here, we explored whether holistic face processing, a mechanism believed to be important for face processing in general, can be accomplished unconsciously. Using a novel "eyes-face" stimulus we tested whether discrimination of pairs of eyes was influenced by the surrounding face context. While the eyes were fully visible, the faces that pr…

  • Does interaction matter? Testing whether a confidence heuristic can replace interaction in collective decision-making

    Open AccessDan Bang, Riccardo Fusaroli et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2014

    In a range of contexts, individuals arrive at collective decisions by sharing confidence in their judgements. This tendency to evaluate the reliability of information by the confidence with which it is expressed has been termed the 'confidence heuristic'. We tested two ways of implementing the confidence heuristic in the context of a collective perceptual decision-making task: either directly, by opting for the judgement made with higher confiden…

  • The development of metacognitive ability in adolescence

    Open AccessLeonora G Weil, Susan M Fleming et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2013

    Introspection, or metacognition, is the capacity to reflect on our own thoughts and behaviours. Here, we investigated how one specific metacognitive ability (the relationship between task performance and confidence) develops in adolescence, a period of life associated with the emergence of self-concept and enhanced self-awareness. We employed a task that dissociates objective performance on a visual task from metacognitive ability in a group of 5…

  • Coming to Terms

    Open AccessRiccardo Fusaroli, Beebe Bahrami et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2012

    Sharing a public language facilitates particularly efficient forms of joint perception and action by giving interlocutors refined tools for directing attention and aligning conceptual models and action. We hypothesized that interlocutors who flexibly align their linguistic practices and converge on a shared language will improve their cooperative performance on joint tasks. To test this prediction, we employed a novel experimental design, in whic…

  • Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults

    Open AccessRyota Kanai, Tom Feilden et al.ARTICLECurrent Biology2011

    Substantial differences exist in the cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives on psychological measures. Variability in political attitudes reflects genetic influences and their interaction with environmental factors. Recent work has shown a correlation between liberalism and conflict-related activity measured by event-related potentials originating in the anterior cingulate cortex. Here we show that this functional correlate of political a…

  • Relating inter-individual differences in metacognitive performance on different perceptual tasks

    Open AccessChen Song, Ryota Kanai et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2011

    Human behavior depends on the ability to effectively introspect about our performance. For simple perceptual decisions, this introspective or metacognitive ability varies substantially across individuals and is correlated with the structure of focal areas in prefrontal cortex. This raises the possibility that the ability to introspect about different perceptual decisions might be mediated by a common cognitive process. To test this hypothesis, we…

  • Optimally Interacting Minds

    Open AccessBahador Bahrami, Karsten Olsen et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Two Heads Are Better Than One When two people peer into the distance and try to figure out if a faint number is a three or an eight, classical signal detection theory states that the joint decision can only be as good as that of the person with higher visual acuity. Bahrami et al. (p. 1081 ; see the Perspective by Ernst ) propose that a discussion not only of what each person perceives but also of the degree of confidence in those assignments can…

  • Relating Introspective Accuracy to Individual Differences in Brain Structure

    Open AccessSusan M Fleming, Stephen M Fleming et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Naval Gazing Simple perceptual tasks, such as detecting the contrast between light and dark bars in a grating, have been a mainstay of psychophysical research for decades. This kind of task makes it possible to obtain both an objective measure of how accurate subjects are and a subjective measure of how confident they are in their judgments. Fleming et al. (p. 1541 ; see the Perspective by Lau and Maniscalco ) have taken this approach one step fu…
