Rats Beat Humans in 2-Second Temporal Error Monitoring Study

MHD featured image for temporal error monitoring and timing metacognition.

A 2026 iScience study found that both humans and rats could report whether their own 2-second timing responses were small-error or large-error trials, but rats were more accurate on test choices: human accuracy was 55%-57%, rat accuracy was 65%-67%, and the species gap remained significant before task-variable matching.1 Research Highlights Both species monitored timing errors: …
