  • Metacognitive efficiency is predictive of individual differences in dogmatism about real-world issues such as politics and climate change, with the parameters governing confidence-based control correlating with people's openness to new information.

    “Conversely, metacognitive efficiency is predictive of individual differences in dogmatism about real-world issues such as politics and climate change (Fischer et al. 2019, Rollwage et al. 2018), with the parameters governing confidence-based control correlating with people's openness to new information (Schulz et al. 2020).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
