Reports an error in "Objectifying the subjective: Building blocks of metacognitive experiences in conflict tasks" by Laurence Questienne, Anne Atas, Boris Burle and Wim Gevers (Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2018[Jan], Vol 147[1], 125-131). In this article, the second sentence of the second paragraph of the Data Processing section is incorrect due to a production error. The second sentence should read as follows: RTs slower/shorter than Median 3 Median Absolute Deviations computed by participant were removed. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2017-52065-001.) Metacognitive appraisals are essential for optimizing our information processing. In conflict tasks, metacognitive appraisals can result from different interrelated features (e.g., motor activity, visual awareness, response speed). Thanks to an original approach combining behavioral and electromyographic measures, the current study objectified the contribution of three features (reaction time [RT], motor hesitation with and without response competition, and visual congruency) to the subjective experience of urge-to-err in a priming conflict task. Both RT and motor hesitation with response competition were major determinants of metacognitive appraisals. Importantly, motor hesitation in absence of response competition and visual congruency had limited effect. Because science aims to rely on objectivity, subjective experiences are often discarded from scientific inquiry. The current study shows that subjectivity can be objectified. (PsycINFO Database Record
