Cognitive Illusions of Authorship Reveal Hierarchical Error Detection in Skilled Typists

Logan, Gordon D., Crump, Matthew J. C.·2010·Science

Abstract

Touchy Typing: Even the most able typist makes errors, and Logan and Crump (p. 683 ) have used this real-world task to probe for the existence of two error-detection mechanisms. They inserted errors into words that had been typed correctly by the subjects, and they corrected errors that had been made. By measuring implicit error detection as the slowing of movement just after an error had been committed and by eliciting explicit monitoring of errors by the output shown on the screen, they uncovered a double dissociation. Inserted errors did not lengthen the interval until the next letter was typed, but they were reported by the typist as errors; on the other hand, corrected errors did increase the interval, but were nevertheless claimed by the subjects as having been typed correctly.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Forms of propositional confidence that remain restricted to a particular sensorimotor pathway and are not globally shared may underpin nonconscious forms of metacognition.

    “This implies that forms of propositional confidence that remain restricted to a particular sensorimotor pathway and are not globally shared may underpin nonconscious forms of metacognition (Charles et al. 2013, Logan & Crump 2010).”

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.
