We consider the problem of determining metacognition strategies for multiagent systems. A single-agent working in isolation can choose its mode of operation solely based on environmental conditions. However, an agent in a team must consider the modes of other agents as the information available to it and thus its decision process depends critically on the information and decision process of oth...

The Lemonade Game is a three-player game in which players have to pick locations on a circular board, which are as far away as possible from those chosen independently by other players. Players may observe other player’s moves and infer their strategies. The game was studied using a competition of cognitively motivated agents, which inherit properties of adaptivity and stochasticity from human ...

Metacognition and self-regulation are important for effective learning; but novices often lack these skills. Betty's Brain, a Smart Open-Ended Learning Environment, helps students develop metacognitive strategies through adaptive scaffolding as they work on challenging tasks related to building causal models of science processes. In this paper, we combine our previous work on sequence mining me...

This study aimed to explore the effects of marking and metacognition-evaluated feedback (MEF) in computerbased testing (CBT) on student performance and review behavior. Marking is a strategy, in which students place a question mark next to a test item to indicate an uncertain answer. The MEF provided students with feedback on test results classified as correct answers with and without marking o...

OBJECTIVE Impairments in laboratory tasks of metacognition appear to be associated with symptoms, functioning, and neurocognition in schizophrenia. We sought to replicate these results in a study of metacognition within personal narratives of self and illness. METHOD Narratives of 61 men with schizophrenia were rated using the Metacognition Assessment Scale and correlated with concurrent asse...

We propose extending our understanding of self-efficacy by comparing self-efficacy with a related construct called metacognition. Metacognition involves the monitoring and control of one's thought processes and is often related, as is self-efficacy, to performance on a task. We develop an instrument that attempts to measure both self-efficacy and metacognition with respect to one's performance ...

To bridge the research gap on the issue of metacognition in the IS research, this study examines consumer’s metacognition in the context of B2C e-commerce. Especially, focusing on the e-commerce solution in terms of Electronic Product Catalogs (EPCs), this study attempts to investigate the effect of the IT artefact on consumer’s metacognition in online shopping. From the perspective of cognitiv...

Impairments in metacognition, the ability to accurately report one's performance, are common in patients with psychiatric disorders, where a putative neuromodulatory dysregulation provides the rationale for pharmacological interventions. Previously, we have shown how unexpected arousal modulates metacognition (Allen et al., 2016). Here, we report a double-blind, placebo-controlled, study that e...

BACKGROUND Internet addiction is one of the harmful effects of the Internet. The findings of several studies have indicated a relationship between general health and Internet addiction. Metacognition, which includes the knowledge, processes, and strategies to evaluate, and monitor or control the cognition, can play a significant role in this regard. The present research aimed to assess the medi...

Metacognition is often defined as thinking about thinking. It is exemplified in all the activities through which one tries to predict and evaluate one’s own mental dispositions, states and properties for their cognitive adequacy. This article discusses the view that metacognition has metarepresentational structure. Properties such as causal contiguity, epistemic transparency and procedural refl...
