Psychology
The temporal dynamics of metacognitive experiences track rational adaptations in task performance
L. Vermeylen, S. Braem, et al.
Human task performance evokes metacognitive experiences like boredom, effort, fatigue, and frustration, whose roles in monitoring and regulating cognition are not well understood. Using a time-on-task conflict task and a comprehensive multimodal approach (behavioral, model-based, subjective, neural; N = 111), the study finds cognitive changes reflect a rational effort to optimize performance and that distinct metacognitive experiences map onto different aspects of that optimization. This research was conducted by Luc Vermeylen, Senne Braem, Ivan I. Ivanchei, Kobe Desender, J. M. García-Román, Carlos González-García, María Ruz, and Wim Notebaert.
