Table 1 Confidence ratings, compared by condition both between the last block prior to the switch and the switch block (left column) and the last block prior to the switch and the second block after the switch.

  1. Switch-effects (significant interaction) are carried by confidence changes in difficult trials. Positive t-values indicate average confidence values that are larger in the switch block than pre-switch block, or larger in the post-switch block than pre-switch block. All df = 17.
