Neural Correlates, Computation And Behavioural Impact Of Decision Confidence,
Nature
 









Excerpts: Moreover, when tested using a delayed reward version of the task, we
found that rats' willingness to wait for rewards increased with confidence, as
predicted by the theoretical model. These results indicate that confidence
estimates, previously suggested to require 'metacognition' and conscious
awareness are available even in the rodent brain, can be computed with
relatively simple operations, and can drive adaptive behaviour. We suggest that
confidence estimation may be a fundamental and ubiquitous component of
decision-making.
