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.
