{ "pk": 29732, "title": "Using Signal Detection Theory to Investigate the Role of Visual Information\nin Performance Monitoring in Typing", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This paper uses the signal detection theory (SDT) to\ninvestigate the contribution of visual information to two\nmonitoring-dependent functions, metacognitive awareness of\nerrors and error corrections. Data from two experiments\nshow that complete removal of visual outcome results in a\nmild decrease in error awareness and a much more significant\ndecrease in correction rates. Partially restoring visual\ninformation by including positional information (as in masked\npassword typing) causes a modest but statistically significant\nimprovement in correction performance. Interestingly,\nparticipants treat the change to the quality of information\ndifferently across the tasks, with more conservative behavior\n(avoiding false alarms) in the correction task. These findings\nshow the SDT’s ability to quantify, in a graded manner, the\ncontribution of specific types of information to monitoring in\ncomplex tasks, while also providing additional information\nabout how participants handle the change to the quality of\ninformation in a task-dependent manner.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "language production; signal detection theory\n(SDT); monitoring; error awareness; typing." } ], "section": "Poster Session 2", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/93s20480", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Svetlana", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Pinet", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Basque Center on Cognition", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Nazbanou", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Nozari", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Carnegie Mellon University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29732/galley/19589/download/" } ] }
