temporal metacognition
Temporal metacognition refers to the ability to monitor and evaluate timing-related processes but whether this type of metacognition is domain-general or domain-specific is unknown. To address this question, I will present two different lines of work. In the first one, we investigated introspective reaction time (iRT) judgments and showed their reliance on multiple sources of information combining direct readouts of mental operations and inferential processes (Pavailler et al, 2025). iRT is postulated to be linked to a generic performance monitoring system, as reflected by the Error-Related Negativity recorded with EEG (Pavailler et al., in prep).
In a second line of work, we used metaperception and developed a confidence forced-choice paradigm (de Gardelle & Mamassian, 2014, 2016) contrasting temporal and visual bisection tasks. I will discuss how these two approaches contribute to a better understanding of whether temporal metacognition relies on specialized or shared cognitive and neural mechanisms.
