Agency has often been assumed to be metacognitive. We are trying to unpack this assumption: What do we mean, exactly, when we say that agency is metacognitive? Are
our assumptions valid?
We collect behavioural data and test computational models to compare agency and motor metacognition.
In our first paper, we show that the computations underlying agency judgments differ conceptually from
those underlying confidence judgments. We think that this is a good reason to be careful with names, and use one term
for computationally unambiguous processes. See also a twitter thread for a
quick summary.
We collaborated with Roy Salomon and his team for this project.
