Physicians’ metacognition in medical decision-making

2025-07-28

Abstract excerpt

<p>A large literature reports that physicians are overconfident when making medical decisions. However, the validity of these findings is questioned due to methodology pitfalls leading to poor ecological validity. Moreover, most previous studies do not distinguish between i) metacognitive bias, the general tendency to report high or low confidence irrespectively of actual accuracy, and ii) metacognitive sensitivit...
