Brissenden et al. show that spatial cognition can adaptively shift to counteract errors in the allocation of visual attention, suggesting an error-driven learning mechanism analogous to movement adaptation in motor control. @tarazlee.bsky.social @brissend.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to see this now out in the world! We identify a computational basis for how persistent underconfidence is maintained in the face of intact performance, finding that it is grounded in impaired updating of global self-beliefs from local metacognition www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N
