Drift diffusion models of decision-making offer some of the most robust predictions of response time for a number of memory manipulations. Some drift diffusion models have been extended to explain confidence judgments. Many of these models assume that confidence judgments are independent and are not systematically related to other task items. In this paper the authors report a relationship between confidence judgments in procedural tasks and how the Memory for Goals model would explain this relationship.
