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.
