Closing The Loop: A Dynamic Neural Network Model Integrating Decision making and Metacognition

This paper introduces a dynamic neural network model that integrates decision making, motor control, and metacognition to better explain decision-making behaviors and confidence.

Distinct Neural Representations of Decision Uncertainty in Metacognition and Mentalizing

This study uses fMRI to investigate neural representations of decision uncertainty in metacognition and mentalizing, revealing distinct brain regions for self and other-related mental states.

Distinct Origins of Two-order Hierarchical Cognitive Abilities in Human Adults

This study compares the genetic and environmental origins of first-order and second-order cognitive abilities in human adults, finding that first-order abilities are heritable while second-order abilities are influenced by shared environments.

The Neural System of Metacognition Accompanying Decision-Making in The Prefrontal Cortex

This study investigates metacognition during decision-making using a novel 'decision-redecision' paradigm, finding distinct roles for anterior prefrontal cortex regions in uncertainty monitoring and decision adjustment.
