Abstract

Effective decision-making involves weighing up evidence for different choices. Decision confidence is the ability to report on the reliability of these cognitive operations. Here, we test classic distance-to-bound models of confidence in more complex categorical spaces and explore the resulting fits. Results indicate that confidence is more than just distance-to-bound.
