Abstract
Trust in Phenomenology (TiP) is individuals’ evaluation of the veracity of their conscious experiences. We show that individual differences in TiP reliably predict perceptual decision making (drift rate) and problem solving (Wason Selection Task, Cognitive Reflection Test). Initial data further suggests TiP may predict the effects of semantic priming.
