From comparative studies to interdisciplinary research on metacognition

Provide a Model for Shaping the Subject in Comparative Studies and Research in the Field of Art With Emphasis on Interdisciplinary Studies

Consideration of comparative research as a "separate and different research process" is an issue that has not been addressed thoroughly, at least in Iran, and few of the research conducted under the title of "comparative" refer to studies conducted using different methods than the usual research methods. On the other hand, there has been a rise in the importance of interaction between different...

Comparative metacognition.

Metacognition is knowledge about knowledge, often expressed as confidence judgments about what we know. Most of the literature on metacognition in humans is based on subjects' verbal reports. Investigators of animal cognition have recently described nonverbal methods for investigating metacognition in animals. In one, subjects are given the option to escape from difficult trials. In another, su...

Interdisciplinary Studies on Information Structure

Interdisciplinary Studies of Multisensory Integration: from Single Units to Perception

The integration of information from multiple sensory sources is a ubiquitous and highly adaptive process that can dramatically alter behavior and shape perception. Neurophysiological studies in animal models and in human subjects have begun to reveal the combinatorial rules by which neurons and networks combine this multisensory information to create a coherent perceptual unity. In addition, re...

The Concept of "Metaemotion": What is There to Learn From Research on Metacognition?

We first present a selection of vignette examples from empirical psychological research to illustrate how the phenomenon of metaemotion (Gottman, Katz, & Hooven, 1996; Mendonça, 2013) is studied within different domains of psychology. We then present a theoretical distinction which has been made between three facets of metacognition, namely metacognitive experiences, metacognitive knowledge, an...
