A low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence

2023-03-15

Abstract excerpt

Human decision making is accompanied by a sense of confidence. According to Bayesian decision theory, confidence reflects the learned probability of making a correct response, given available data (e.g., accumulated stimulus evidence and response time). Although optimal, independently learning these probabilities for all possible combinations of data is computationally intractable. Here, we describe a novel model...
