Metacognitive monitoring and conflict sensitivity in the ratio-bias task

In this study, we investigated the processes of conflict detection and metacognitive monitoring and regulation using the conflict and no‐conflict versions of the ratio‐bias task. Participants were asked to give an intuitive response to a problem along with an assessment of the rightness of that response (FOR) and were then allowed as much time as needed to rethink their response and provide a final response. The obtained results supported the predictions of the Metacognitive Reasoning Theory. Low FORs were associated with more analytic thinking (higher probability of changing responses, longer rethinking times, and higher normative accuracy). Although response times did not differ for conflict and no‐conflict versions of problems, conflict sensitivity was demonstrated by lower FORs when heuristic responses were given to conflict problems. A higher proportion of changed responses for conflict than for no‐conflict problems indicates more engagement of Type 2 processes.
