Previous studies on domain generality of metacognition showed inconsistent results about cross-domain correlation of metacognitive resolution, which might result from the varied relationship between actual performance and the information utilized during confidence rating across tasks. The current study investigated metacognitive domain generality using the Bayesian inference model for metamemory (BIM), which suggests that individuals integrate current processing experience and their prior beliefs to construct confidence ratings. Results from three experiments and a series of meta-analyses showed that the correlation between the contribution of processing experience to confidence ratings (parameter in BIM) across perceptual and memory domains was significantly positive, while the cross-domain correlation of metacognitive resolution (-') was relatively weak. Furthermore, ' was related to specific task requirements, which could lead to very low cross-task correlation of even within the same cognitive domain. These results imply that the cross-domain correlation of metacognitive resolution might underestimate metacognitive domain generality, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying confidence rating process itself may be more domain-general.

以往关于元认知领域普遍性的研究显示，元认知分辨率的跨领域相关性结果并不一致，这可能是由于实际表现与不同任务中信心评级时所利用信息之间的关系各不相同所致。本研究使用元记忆的贝叶斯推理模型（BIM）来探究元认知领域普遍性，该模型表明个体整合当前的加工经验和他们先前的信念来构建信心评级。三项实验和一系列元分析的结果显示，知觉和记忆领域中加工经验对信心评级的贡献（BIM中的参数）之间的相关性显著为正，而元认知分辨率（- '）的跨领域相关性相对较弱。此外，' 与特定任务要求有关，这可能导致即使在同一认知领域内， 的跨任务相关性也非常低。这些结果表明，元认知分辨率的跨领域相关性可能低估了元认知领域普遍性，并且信心评级过程本身潜在的认知机制可能更具领域普遍性。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
