I'm heading to #CogSci2026 @cogscisociety.bsky.social this evening, looking forward to seeing lots of new & familiar faces! 🇧🇷 I'll be presenting this paper: A measure of metacognitive bias you can be confident in 📍: T.18.3 🗓️: July 24th, 2-3:30pm 👥: @tianqizhan.bsky.social @smfleming.bsky.social

In a new preprint w/ @tianqizhan.bsky.social & @smfleming.bsky.social, we developed a new measure of metacognitive bias (over/under confidence in individual decisions)! doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Interested in how we plan over our imagination? Come to Brazil 🇧🇷 & my poster P1-E-37 at #CogSci2026! Here, @smfleming.bsky.social and I use computational modelling to demonstrate that planning over our imaginations, untethered from perception, relies on mental representations.

Are you interested in metacognition/ individual differences/ Bayesian modeling/ psychometrics? I'm thrilled to present our poster at #CogSci2026 🇧🇷 next week! Come check it out and chat! 📍Poster number P1-E-41 📅 2:45 pm, July 23 👥 @jasondasilvac.bsky.social @smfleming.bsky.social

A new measure of metacognitive bias: non-confounded, reliable, directly derived from the meta-d’ model, and easy to compute using the hmetad package in R.

Metacognition ppl, check out this upgraded hmetad package for estimating metacognitive metrics (e.g., M-ratio)! ☑️More efficient ☑️Easier to implement ☑️Comprehensive documentation ☑️New non-confounded measure of metacognitive bias (meta-delta) I’ve just applied this model to my data - working nicely!

happy to announce the official release of my first R package on CRAN! 🎉 building on the Hmetad toolbox by @smfleming.bsky.social, the hmetad package allows users to fit the meta-d' model of confidence ratings using a familiar brms/lme4-style formula syntax

Really enjoyed this meeting! Such a great atmosphere and so many thoughtful discussions. Learned a lot and left feeling inspired…

The CODE Network Workshop on Computational Modelling in Leuven was a fantastic opportunity to explore up-to-date ideas on metacognition🤯. We had an excellent lineup of presenters and students enriched the event with their project presentations! #MSCA

“You can’t just be confident, you have to be confident about something.” Research led by @jerlich.bsky.social and Xiaoyue Zhu set out to disentangle the different kinds of confidence by designing a perceptual gambling task for rodents. ⬇️ www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/dec...

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N

Individuals with symptoms of anxiety and depression exhibit persistent underconfidence. Here, the authors show that distortions in learning from local metacognition can explain how underconfidence is ...

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓ link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence
