Metacognition is thinking about thinking. There is considerable interest in developing animal models of metacognition to provide insight about the evolution of mind and a basis for investigating neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive impairments in people. Formal modeling of low-level (i.e., alternative) mechanisms has recently demonstrated that prevailing standards for documenting metacogniti...

Recently Intelligent Systems (IS) have highly increased the autonomy of their decisions, this has been achieved by improving metacognitive skills. The term metacognition in Artifi cial Intelligence (AI) refers to the capability of IS to monitor and control their own learning processes. This paper describes different models used to address the implementation of metacognition in IS. Then, we pres...

Background Studies have shown the importance of metacognition in medical education. Metacognitive skills consist of two dimensions: knowledge of metacognition and regulation of metacognition. Aim This study hypothesizes that the knowledge and regulation of metacognition is significantly different at the beginning and end of the academic year, and a correlation exists between the two dimensions ...

Metacognition refers to thinking about thinking, reflecting self-awareness about one’s cognitive abilities. Metacognition has long been considered a core element of academic success because higher metacognitive ability allows individuals to be efficient learners. In reality, however, developments in our understanding of metacognition have not been adequate to support changes in educational prac...

Introduction Poorer metacognitive abilities are recognized as strong predictors of social functioning deficits in individuals with schizophrenia. Objectives The aim the current study is to examine people schizophrenia and explore correlations between metacognition, symptoms general functioning. Methods It was a cross-sectional involving outpatients diagnosed followed psychiatry “C” department a...

Two studies were conducted to investigate measures of children’s metacognition. Experiment 1 presented two versions of a self-report inventory, the Jr. MAI, appropriate for assessing metacognition in children in grades 3–9. Factor analyses are interpreted that illustrate how the items measure components of metacognition. Experiment 2 further addressed properties of the two versions and compared...

Decision-making is usually accompanied by metacognition, through which a decision maker 14 monitors the decision uncertainty and consequently revises the decision, even prior to feedback. 15 However, the neural mechanisms of metacognition remain controversial: one theory proposes 16 that metacognition coincides the decision-making process; and another addresses that it entails 17 an independent...

Individuals in the early phases of psychotic illness have disturbed metacognitive capacity, which has been linked to a number of poor outcomes. Little is known, however, about the neural systems associated with metacognition in this population. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the neuroanatomical correlates of metacognition. We anticipated that higher levels of metacognition may be de...

This research paper investigation concerned with understanding the mechanisms and designing a rules of Metacontrol and Metacognition. This work investigated the concept of metacognition as a powerful catalyst for control, unify and self-reflection. Metacontrol is a part of the Metacognition task. Metacontrol rules decides which deliberative agents are to be learned and ready to perform in diffe...

Some studies, so far limited in number, suggest the existence of procedural metacognition in young children, that is, the practical capacity to monitor and control one's own cognitive activity in a given task. The link between procedural metacognition and false belief understanding is currently under theoretical discussion. If data with primates seem to indicate that procedural metacognition an...
