In this article, we compare conventional uses of metacognition with the kinds of metacognition required by the teaching profession. We discover that many of problems and tasks used in successful metacognitive interventions tend to be reasonably well-defined problems of limited duration, with known solutions. Teaching has unique qualities that differentiate it from many of the tasks and environm...

Accurate metacognitive monitoring of one’s own knowledge or performance is a precondition for selfregulated learning; monitoring informs metacognitive control, which in turn affects task outcomes. Studies of monitoring accuracy and its connection to knowledge and performance are common in psychology and educational research but rare in instructed SLA. This paper describes two studies in which a...

While listening plays an important role in the process of foreign/second language learning, different factors can affect this process. This study was designed to assess the relationship between listening anxiety and metacognitive strategy awareness with a special interest in the role of gender and proficiency level. In order to conduct this survey, two instruments including the Metacognitive Aw...

This investigation sought to determine the role of cognitive word knowledge in metacognitive development. Subjects were fifth graders, seventh graders, tenth graders, and college undergraduates. Each subject completed a Likert scale self-report qWstiomuNire that measured the frequency of their metacognitive strategy use and a multiple-choice test that measured their cognitive word knowledge. Ac...

Metacognitive skills have been commonly associated with preparation for future learning in deductive domains. Many researchers regarded strategy- and time-awareness as two metacognitive that address how when to use a problem-solving strategy, respectively. It was shown students who are both time-aware (StrTime) outperformed their nonStrTime peers across In this work, were trained on logic tutor...

Recollective confabulation (RC) is encountered as a conviction that a present moment is a repetition of one experienced previously, combined with the retrieval of confabulated specifics to support that assertion. It is often described as persistent déjà vu by family members and caregivers. On formal testing, patients with RC tend to produce a very high level of false positive errors. In this pa...

The study of learning and memory has a long and veritable history in psychological research. One recent and important development is the growth of research in metamemory—the study of what people understand about their memory and how they use that knowledge to direct their own learning experiences in service of their goals. Metamemory research has been guided in part by the framework proposed by...
