“…In addition, in some tasks, confidence empirically increased with stimulus strength in correct trials and to a lesser degree in incorrect trials (Kiani, Corthell, & Shadlen, 2014;Rausch, Hellmann, & Zehetleitner, 2018;Stolyarova et al, 2019;van den Berg et al, 2016), a pattern we refer to as double increase pattern. The double increase pattern can be reproduced by a smaller number of mathematical models, including the weighted evidence and visibility (WEV) model (Rausch et al, 2018), the heuristic detection EEG markers of confidence 7 model (Maniscalco, Peters, & Lau, 2016;Peters et al, 2017), and some Bayesian models (Adler & Ma, 2018;Rausch & Zehetleitner, 2019b). For these reasons, it is not legitimate to assume a specific statistical pattern a priori.…”
