空间注意力使我们能够对环境中的事件做出更准确的决定。决策信心被认为与决策过程密切相关，因为信心评级与决策准确性紧密相关。虽然空间注意力和决策信心都受到了广泛的研究，但令人惊讶的是，人们对这两个过程之间的相互作用知之甚少。由于注意力提高了表现，因此可以预期信心也会增加。然而，两项研究调查了内源性注意力对决策信心的影响，发现了相互矛盾的结果。在这里，我们研究了两种不同形式的空间注意对决策信心的影响：内源性注意和外源性注意。我们使用了一个方向匹配的任务，比较两个注意条件（内源性和外源性）的控制条件没有定向注意。参与者在这两种注意力条件下的表现都比在控制条件下好。高的置信度比控制条件下发现内源性注意，但不下外源性注意。这一发现表明，虽然注意力可以提高信心评级，但必须自愿部署这种增加。我们讨论了可能的影响，这种相对过度自信只发现在内源性注意方面的决策信心的理论背景。
Spatial attention allows us to make more accurate decisions about events in our environment. Decision confidence is thought to be intimately linked to the decision making process as confidence ratings are tightly coupled to decision accuracy. While both spatial attention and decision confidence have been subjected to extensive research, surprisingly little is known about the interaction between these two processes. Since attention increases performance it might be expected that confidence would also increase. However, two studies investigating the effects of endogenous attention on decision confidence found contradictory results. Here we investigated the effects of two distinct forms of spatial attention on decision confidence; endogenous attention and exogenous attention. We used an orientation-matching task, comparing the two attention conditions (endogenous and exogenous) to a control condition without directed attention. Participants performed better under both attention conditions than in the control condition. Higher confidence ratings than the control condition were found under endogenous attention but not under exogenous attention. This finding suggests that while attention can increase confidence ratings, it must be voluntarily deployed for this increase to take place. We discuss possible implications of this relative overconfidence found only during endogenous attention with respect to the theoretical background of decision confidence.
