First, we sought to examine the effects of metacognitive self-regulation on problem solving across three conditions— an interactive, computer-based treatment condition, a non-interactive computer-based alternative treatment condition, and a control condition. Second, we sought to investigate which of five components of metacognitive self-regulation were important for scientific problem solving....
