Past research has found that interruptions change the
relationship between confidence and accuracy. However, it is
unclear how interruptions affect confidence-accuracy
calibration. In this study, we used a rule-based procedural
task called UNRAVEL and compared confidence-accuracy
calibration between interrupted and uninterrupted trials.
Results showed that participants were better calibrated in the
interruption condition than in the no interruption condition.
We interpret this novel effect as a result of changes in the
validity of internal cues for confidence between conditions.
Specifically, we explore response time as one potential
mediating factor.
