Sažetak
Recent research in the field of reasoning has been conducted in conjunction with the meta-reasoning framework which has been in development for the past decade. The study of how metacognitive judgments are generated and what are the determinants of those judgments has become the focus of many researchers. We have focused on tasks which reliably induce conflict between multiple heuristic and/or analytic responses in order to investigate the role of conflict detection and resolution on meta-reasoning. For this purpose we conducted a series of studies using a number of different reasoning tasks, three of which are the focus of this talk. The selected tasks were: the base rate task, the Linda problem, and the detection of covariation task. All of these tasks cue two responses which allows us to manipulate the level of induced conflict between them. Results generally showed conflict detection prolonged response times and reduced confidence judgments in all of the tasks. Furthermore, participants were quite overconfident, especially when they chose an incorrect but heuristically appealing response. Finally, fluency was highly correlated with metacognitive judgments. More specifically, there is converging evidence of independent influences of conflict detection and fluency on metacognitive judgments. Also, we have shown that various levels of conflict can be achieved by adequate methodological manipulations and that the magnitude of conflict is reflected in response times and metacognitive judgments. In total, these results provide novel insight into meta-reasoning processes, and are discussed within the dual process framework.
