An interesting idea, but the experiment as described in the article doesn't prove it. If I played this game without knowing what "S", "D" and "?" stand for, I'd just assume that "S" means "few", "D" means "a lot" and "?" means "a moderate amount". No meta-cognitive reasoning seems necessary.
- giberson 16y agoI definitely agree. If given a control panel in a foreign language with three symbols from left to right and then shown a series of graphics representing sparse/denseness I would certainly see identifying the three options as low, middle, high rather than low, unknown, high. So for identifying a conscious uncertainty in primates this experiment is lacking.
