In this lecture we will explore the construction of confidence, mostly in simple perceptual decisions. I will discuss how and why confidence varies across different individuals. Why judges make systematic and reliable errors - being often overconfident without sufficient evidence and under-confident when there is ample evidence. I will present how current experimental evidence constrains the mechanisms by which models of decision making compute confidence.
Coffee and cookies will be served 15 minutes before the start of the seminar
