Metacognition

294
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

409
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • The cognitive reflection test (CRT) assesses the ability to override intuitive, incorrect responses.
  • While CRT's link to cognitive biases is established, its relation to attentional control is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if the inhibitory component of the CRT relates to visual attentional control.
  • Examining the CRT-Inhibitory Control Score (CRT-ICS) in tasks requiring bias overriding.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed participants using the CRT and two visual attention tasks: an anti-saccade and a visual search task.
  • Analyzed the predictive power of CRT-ICS on attention allocation, comparing it with numeracy and visual working memory (VWM).

Main Results:

  • Lower CRT-ICS scores correlated with more errors in anti-saccade "look-away" trials.
  • Higher CRT-ICS scores were linked to focusing on more informative stimuli in visual search.
  • After controlling for numeracy and VWM, CRT-ICS remained significantly related only to anti-saccade performance.

Conclusions:

  • The inhibitory aspect of the CRT (CRT-ICS) is associated with visual attentional control, particularly in inhibiting prepotent responses.
  • This relationship is specific to tasks demanding the suppression of automatic attention shifts, like the anti-saccade task, even when controlling for other cognitive factors.
