We used cognitive illusions/magic tricks to study the role of visual awareness as a source of biases in visual metacognitive judgments. We conducted a questionnaire-based study (n = 144) and an eye tracking study (n = 69) in which participants watched videos of four different magic tricks that capitalize on failures of visual awareness (inattentional blindness and change blindness). We measured participants' susceptibility to these illusions, their beliefs about other people's susceptibility, as well as the role that fixating (i.e. eye position) the critical event has on detecting the secret. Participants who detected the method of the tricks believed it was more likely that other people would detect it compared to those participants who failed to notice the method. Moreover, they believed that they moved their eyes to look at it. Eye tracking data show that, contrary to participants' beliefs, peripheral vision played a significant role in detecting the method. Overall, the findings from these studies suggest that visual awareness may bias visual metacognitive judgments.
我们使用认知错觉/魔术技巧来研究视觉意识作为视觉元认知判断偏差来源的作用。我们进行了一项基于问卷调查的研究（n=144）和一项眼动追踪研究（n=69），参与者观看了四个不同的魔术视频，这些魔术利用了视觉意识的失败（疏忽性失明和变化盲）。我们测量了参与者对这些错觉的易感性、他们对其他人易感性的信念，以及注视（即眼睛位置）关键事件对检测秘密的作用。发现魔术手法的参与者认为其他人更有可能发现它，而那些没有注意到手法的参与者则不然。此外，他们认为自己移动了眼睛去看它。眼动追踪数据显示，与参与者的信念相反，周边视觉在检测方法方面起着重要作用。总的来说，这些研究的结果表明，视觉意识可能会影响视觉元认知判断。
