Formulas for Calculating the New Metacognitive Measures
Measure | Formula |
Quantity score = | Ncorrect / Ntotal |
Accuracy score = | Vcorrect / Vtotal |
Free-choice improvement = | Accuracy score – Quantity score |
Global monitoring = | Ncorrect – Vtotal |
Monitoring resolution = | γRconfidence Rcorrect |
Control sensitivity = | γRconfidence Rventure |
Monetary gains = | Vcorrect – Vincorrect |
Note: Ntotal = total number of items that were presented; Ncorrect = total number of correct responses; Vtotal = total number of volunteered responses; Vcorrect = total number of correct responses out of those volunteered; Vincorrect = total number of incorrect responses out of those volunteered; Rconfidence = confidence in the correctness of a given response; Rcorrect = actual correctness of a given response; Rventure = actual decision to venture a given response; γ = within participant Kruskal-Goodman gamma correlation.
