Effects of Social Cues on Explicit and Implicit Metacognitive Monitoring and Control

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.05.003

Abstract

Abstract: This study examined the impact of social cues on explicit and implicit metacognition by analyzing behavior performance and eye movement measurements. The results showed that, in the first judgment, participants significantly overestimated the explicit confidence judgment whereas the implicit confidence judgment was more accurate. In the second judgment, when cues were consistent, explicit confidence judgments were significantly higher than those that were implicit. In the stage of providing social cues and the second recognition stage, compared with the cue-consistent condition, the fixation time of the cued item was shorter under the cue-inconsistent condition, while the fixation time of the uncued item was longer. In conclusion, the accuracy of implicit monitoring is higher than explicit monitoring which is more influenced by social cues, while implicit and explicit metacognitive control are similarly influenced by social cues.

Key words: social cues, explicit metacognition, implicit metacognition, eye movement

摘要： 本研究以词图匹配材料为学习材料，以“大多数人选择的情况”为社会性线索，通过分析行为表现和眼动指标，探讨了社会性线索对内隐和外显元认知监控的影响。结果显示：（1）第一次信心判断时，外显信心判断显著高估，内隐信心判断较为准确。第二次信心判断时，在线索一致条件下，外显信心判断等级显著高于内隐信心判断。（2）在提供社会性线索阶段和第二次再认阶段，与线索一致条件相比，线索不一致条件下被提示项的注视时间更短，而未提示项的注视时间更长，且个体改变选择的次数显著增多。结果表明：内隐和外显元认知监测存在分离，内隐监测的准确性更高，外显监测受社会性线索的影响更大；而内隐和外显的元认知控制受社会性线索的影响趋同。
