Convergent evidence indicates that frontopolar Brodmann area 10, and more generally the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC), supports the human capacity to monitor and reflect on cognition and experience. An important unanswered question, however, is whether aPFC is a homogeneous region that supports a general-purpose metacognitive ability or whether there could be regional specialization within ...

INTRODUCTION Whereas the efficacy of cognitive-behavioural therapy has been demonstrated for a variety of mental disorders, there is still need for improvement, especially regarding less prevalent or more severe disorders. Recently, metacognitive interventions have been developed and are now available for a variety of diagnoses. Still, a systematic review investigating the effectiveness of diff...

Metacognition has been defined as cognition about cognition. Metacognition can include beliefs and attitudes about cognitive events such as thoughts, feelings, memories, images, sensations, and perceptions. Cognitive models of addictions have addressed the role of beliefs and attitudes in substance misuse, but the role of metacognition has been neglected. Metacognitive effects (beliefs about th...

Through a survey of several computer-based learning environments and the methods under the title "metacognition", we recognize there are various concepts called "metacognition", and lack of common vocabulary and a system of concepts to represent cognitive and/or metacognitive phenomena. We propose a double-loop model of metacognitive activities as our criterion to distinguish metacognitive acti...

METHODS 14 actively delusional patients with s...

While research in metacognition has grown significantly in the past 10 years, there has been a relative lack of research devoted to the focused study of the interactions between metacognition and affective processes. Computational models represent a useful tool which can help remedy this situation by constructing causal models of demonstrated correlational relationships, and by generating empir...
