Confidence in auditory perceptual completion.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies examining confidence in perceptual completion in vision showed that observers can be unaware of missing sensory information and be even more confident in perceptually completed stimuli than veridical stimuli. In the current study, we aimed to investigate if auditory filling-in mechanisms would result in similar confidence biases. In two separate experiments, participants listened to continuous (uninterrupted) or discontinuous (interrupted) tones that were accompanied by noise. We examined confidence for continuity-discontinuity decisions by collecting confidence ratings (Experiment 1) and forced-choice confidence judgments (Experiment 2). Participants reported the interrupted sounds with masking noise more as uninterrupted, showing auditory filling-in. Confidence ratings i
