Do confidence ratings prime confidence?

A Probable Prime Test with High Confidence

Monier and Rabin proved that an odd composite can pass the Strong Probable Prime Test for at most 1 4 of the possible bases. In this paper, a probable prime test is developed using quadratic polynomials and the Frobenius automor-phism. The test, along with a xed number of trial divisions, ensures that a composite n will pass for less than 1 7710 of the polynomials x 2 ? bx ? c with b 2 +4c n = ...

Confidence Ratings and Level of Performance on a Judgmental Task.

Testing models of decision making using confidence ratings in classification.

Classification implies decision making (or response selection) of some kind. Studying the decision process using a traditional signal detection theory analysis is difficult for two reasons: (a) The model makes a strong assumption about the encoding process (normal noise), and (b) the two most popular decision models, optimal and distance-from-criterion models, can mimic each other's predictions...

On the form of ROCs constructed from confidence ratings.

A classical question for memory researchers is whether memories vary in an all-or-nothing, discrete manner (e.g., stored vs. not stored, recalled vs. not recalled), or whether they vary along a continuous dimension (e.g., strength, similarity, or familiarity). For yes-no classification tasks, continuous- and discrete-state models predict nonlinear and linear receiver operating characteristics (...
