This study compares Bayesian and non-Bayesian models of human confidence reports using perceptual tasks and finds that while sensory uncertainty is considered, behavior aligns better with heuristic models.

The paper examines two proposed signatures of Bayesian confidence, showing they have hidden assumptions and are not necessary or sufficient for Bayesian confidence.

This study shows humans adjust perceptual decisions and confidence based on attention-dependent uncertainty, using a Bayesian framework.
