Metacognitive bias resulting from trade-off between local and global motion signals.

ABSTRACT: Visual confidence generally depends on performance in targeted perceptual tasks. However, it remains unclear how factors unrelated to performance affect confidence. Given the hierarchical nature of visual processing, both local and global stimulus features can influence confidence, but their strengths of influence remain unknown. To address this question, we independently manipulated the local contrast signals and the global coherence signals in a multiple-aperture motion pattern. The drifting-Gabor elements were individually manipulated to give rise to a coherent global motion percept. In both dichotomous direction-discrimination task (Experiment 1) and analog direction-judgment task (Experiment 2), we found stimulus-dependent biases in metacognition despite matched perceptual performance
