Definitionv1DF-152
Domain-specific calibration
the epistemic skill where confidence accurately reflects accuracy within a particular domain, requiring repeated feedback cycles and specific learning experiences that cannot be transferred to other domains
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes 'domain-specific calibration' by naming its genus (epistemic skill) and differentia (confidence reflecting accuracy within particular domains, requiring repeated feedback). It precisely distinguishes this from general calibration by emphasizing the non-transferability and the need for specific learning experiences. The definition is precise enough to distinguish from related concepts like general expertise or general judgment ability.
