The metacognitive underpinnings of effective cognitive teamwork Open
Groups often outperform individuals in cognitive tasks. However, there is little consensus on the cognitive mechanisms that underlie effective teamwork. Here we propose that metacognitive awareness—an individual’s ability to understand and…

Remembering conversation in group settings Open
Individuals can take on various roles in conversation. Some roles are more active, with the participant responsible for guiding that conversation in pursuit of the group’s goals. Other roles are more passive, like when one is an overhearer…

Models of unforced choice Open
Unforced choice tasks are ones in which the responder has the option of selecting from a limited array of choices or rejecting the entire set. Such tasks are common in perceptual and cognitive research, but models of decision-making for un…

Comparing models of learning and relearning in large-scale cognitive training data sets Open
Practice in real-world settings exhibits many idiosyncracies of scheduling and duration that can only be roughly approximated by laboratory research. Here we investigate 39,157 individuals’ performance on two cognitive games on the Lumosit…

Examining the generalizability of research findings from archival data Open
This initiative examined systematically the extent to which a large set of archival research findings generalizes across contexts. We repeated the key analyses for 29 original strategic management effects in the same context (direct reprod…

Referential Form and Memory for the Discourse History Open
The way we refer to things in the world is shaped by the immediate physical context as well as the discourse history. But what part of the discourse history is relevant to language use in the present? In four experiments, we combine the st…

Am I tone-deaf? Assessing pitch discrimination in 700,000 people Open
Congenital amusia of pitch (tone-deafness), which affects ~1.5% of the population, involves a deficit in pitch processing affecting the perception of musical melody and some speech contrasts. Lay-knowledge of tone-deafness considers the ph…

Explaining Algorithm Aversion with Metacognitive Bandits Open
Human-AI collaboration is an increasingly commonplace part of decision-making in real world applications. However, how humans behave when collaborating with AI is not well understood. We develop metacognitive bandits, a computational model…

The effect of lineup size on eyewitness identification. Open
Eyewitness identification via lineup procedures is an important and widely used source of evidence in criminal cases. However, the scientific literature provides inconsistent guidance on a very basic feature of lineup procedure: lineup siz…

Aging and recognition memory: A meta-analysis. Open
Recognizing a stimulus as previously encountered is a crucial everyday life skill and a critical task motivating theoretical development in models of human memory. Although there are clear age-related memory deficits in tasks requiring rec…

Conflict and metacognitive control: the<i>mismatch-monitoring</i>hypothesis of how others' knowledge states affect recall Open
Information about others' success in remembering is frequently available. For example, students taking an exam may assess its difficulty by monitoring when others turn in their exams. In two experiments, we investigated how rememberers use…

Perspective-taking in comprehension, production, and memory: An individual differences approach. Open
The ability to take a different perspective is central to a tremendous variety of higher level cognitive skills. To communicate effectively, we must adopt the perspective of another person both while speaking and listening. To ensure the s…
