Jonathon D. Crystal studies animal cognition, including tests of metacognition that do not require verbal reports. With Allison L. Foote, he examined rats’ use of an option to decline difficult duration-discrimination trials. Performance on accepted trials and the pattern of declining provide complementary evidence about uncertainty-sensitive behavior. Distinguishing monitoring from learned stimulus or reward cues is part of interpreting this experimental design. [ref]
