Brian Maniscalco is a researcher in metacognition and its measurement. With Hakwan Lau, he introduced a method that estimates meta-d-prime from confidence reports and task outcomes. Comparing the estimate with first-order sensitivity asks how much task-relevant information is reflected in self-evaluation. It avoids identifying confidence magnitude alone with accurate monitoring, although the interpretation still depends on the specified signal detection theory model. [ref]
