The ability to accurately monitor the quality of one’s decisions (i.e., metacognition) is critical for adaptive decision-making. Past research has found that metacognition is enhanced when participants respond under speed pressure, possibly due to elaborated post-decisional evidence processing. Here, we investigated the time-course of evidence processing under different speed pressures using time-resolved analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) data. Forty participants performed a motion discrimination task under short and long response deadlines. Following the initial response, participants
