“…The apparent disconnect between the accuracy and confidence findings as a function of problem type is consistent with previous findings in the metacognitive literature suggesting that the correlation between confidence and accuracy is very moderate and affected by several alternative variables, such as a feeling of rightness and processing fluency (Prowse Turner & Thompson, 2009; Shynkaruk & Thompson, 2006). …”

“…Contrary to this research, however, Prowse Turner and Thompson (2009) did not observe an accuracy difference between the two types, but did find that singlemodel syllogisms were given higher on confidence judgments than their multiplemodel counterparts. Therefore, they provided evidence that confidence judgement can be dissociated from accuracy.…”

“…Similarly, FOR is also cue-based and inferential (Bajšanski, Močibob, & Valerjev, 2014;Bajšanski, Zauhar, & Valerjev, 2018;Prowse Turner & Thompson, 2009;Quayle & Ball, 2000;Shynkaruk & Thompson, 2006;Thompson et al, 2011). These studies have shown that reasoners' confidence judgements and accuracy are not well aligned in many reasoning domains, as indicated by the low correlations between the two variables.…”

“…Finally, our work suggests new tools for assessing the calibration of confidence and accuracy in deductive reasoning (ProwseTurner & Thompson, 2009;Shynkaruk & Thompson, 2006). For instance, Prowse-Turner and Thompson (2009) showed that while reasoners tend to be poorly calibrated (overconfident) for the syllogistic reasoning task, calibration can be much improved with training that involves trial-by-trial accuracy feedback and instruction in the concept of logical necessity.…”

“…For instance, Prowse-Turner and Thompson (2009) showed that while reasoners tend to be poorly calibrated (overconfident) for the syllogistic reasoning task, calibration can be much improved with training that involves trial-by-trial accuracy feedback and instruction in the concept of logical necessity. Although the analytical approach taken by the authors was quite rigorous, accuracy was assessed in some cases by using percent correct.…”
