This study examines how metacognitive experiences like boredom and frustration evolve over time during a task and relate to cognitive processes that optimize performance.

The paper develops a model showing that choice and confidence reports share a single evidence accumulation process with separate boundaries.

The paper investigates how reward and difficulty cues are evaluated before and after task experience, finding that reward cues are positively evaluated even before task experience, influencing performance.

The paper introduces a new computational model for confidence judgments, showing it better explains speed-accuracy tradeoffs in decision-making than existing models.

The paper examines how response caution affects metacognitive efficiency, showing that static measures like M-ratio are influenced by speed-accuracy tradeoffs, while a dynamic measure, v-ratio, is not.

This study uses fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis to show that the ventral pre-supplementary motor area responds similarly to conflict and affect tasks, challenging the idea that these processes are independent.
