A key challenge lies in explaining behavioral irrationalities that arise specifically in multialternative decisions. This study, based on preregistered procedures, investigated such nonnormative behaviors in a three-choice dot numerosity discrimination task. We systematically manipulated the value of the lowest numerosity alternative (the dud stimulus) and quantified its effects on choice, response time, and confidence. We then explained observed behaviors with a sequential evidence accumulation model featuring a \"max versus next\" decision algorithm. This pseudo-optimal decision-making rule naturally accounted for a well-known nonnormative choice pattern: the violation of the independence of irrelevant alternatives. Our model also explained a multichoice metacognitive bias, known as the dud-alternative confidence boost, by identifying two critical time windows in confidence constructions: Confidence is based on sensory evidence collected shortly after stimulus presentation and evidence gathered right after decision making. These findings represent a significant advancement in understanding the dynamics underlying multichoice irrationalities.

Participants were 5-year-old Chinese children (total <i>N</i> = 180 across four studies; 96 boys), and effort was operationalized as a willingness to wait. In Study 1, participants who overheard a positive comment about another child's waiting behavior waited longer than children in a control condition. Surprisingly, in Study 2, an overheard comment that described another child's waiting behavior as not smart also led to a high level of waiting. In contrast, in Study 3, a nonevaluative comment about another child's waiting behavior had no effect on children's waiting, nor did a global negative comment about another child's waiting behavior in Study 4. Taken together, these results shed light on the mechanisms underlying children's regulation of effort and the role of overheard evaluative comments in the socialization process.

In this study, we investigated the impact of motor planning of perceptual responses on decision confidence, testing two hypotheses. The \"fluency hypothesis\" suggests that ease of motor response selection and preparation enhances confidence. In contrast, the \"monitoring hypothesis\" posits that increased action monitoring during response selection boosts confidence, potentially counteracting response fluency. In three preregistered experiments, participants reported the orientation of a stimulus and indicated their confidence in their response. A cue-induced action planning that was either congruent or incongruent with the response side used to report the stimulus orientation. Across experiments, we consistently observed higher confidence when participants prepared spatially incongruent actions compared with congruent ones, regardless of response accuracy. In the third experiment, electroencephalography revealed an increased frontocentral P2 amplitude for incongruent actions, suggesting that incongruent action planning heightened early attentional resources needed to resolve response conflict. Incongruent action plans also modulated postresponse event related potentials at centro-parietal channels (e.g., Pz), typically linked to confidence and error monitoring. These findings align with the \"monitoring hypothesis\" suggesting that the degree of action monitoring during response selection modulates retrospective decision confidence.

Here, we tested whether hemispheric asymmetries in visual perception can be explained by asymmetries in people's tendency to perform high- and low-frequency actions with their dominant and nondominant hands, respectively (the action asymmetry hypothesis). In two large, preregistered, online studies, participants judged low- and high-frequency shapes presented in the left and right visual hemifields. Overall, the typical hemispheric asymmetry for high versus low visual frequencies, which we found in right handers, was significantly reduced in left handers. Across experiments, hemispheric asymmetries for high-spatial-frequency stimuli were completely reversed between strong right and left handers. A third experiment testing dichotic listening suggests that this reversal cannot be explained by differences in language laterality.
