Objective: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is chronic psychiatric disorder with high rate of relapse during the course of illness. It is not well known which factors contribute for the chronicity of the illness, mainly because there are confounding factors as the medication effect. In this study we compared the difference of neurocognitive functions of the first-episode, medication-naive OC...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that dysfunctional metacognitions might be a general vulnerability factor for anxiety disorder, metacognitive beliefs among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), patients with panic disorder (PD), and healthy subjects (HS) were studied. Correlations between metacognitive beliefs, OCD, and PD symptoms were also investigated. METHODS Patients with O...

Low-code platforms can provide a learning environment that integrates academic theory with practical experiences, allowing students to experience real-world ISD projects. Such pedagogy is known as work-integrated (WIL). In low-code WIL course, the focus on development experiences and delivery of business application based client’s requirements. Yet, may inhibit metacognition, which essential fo...

Objective: The objective of this study was analyzing the effect of meta-cognition elements on depression, trait and state anxiety symptoms.  Methods: In this Study, the sample consisted of 224 students of University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences that answered three questionnaires including Metacognitive Questionnaire (MCQ-30), Beck Depression inventory (BDI-II) and Spi...

Abstract Updating one’s beliefs about the causes and effects of climate change is crucial for altering attitudes behaviours. Importantly, metacognitive abilities - insight into (in)correctness beliefs- play a key role in formation polarised beliefs. We here aimed at investigated metacognition changing change. To that end, we focused on domain-general domain-specific updating prior across spectr...

This article makes the case for why it is important for educators to intentionally foster students’ metacognition. Metacognition is often defined as thinking about thinking, but it is more complete to describe it as including knowledge, awareness, and control of one’s own cognition and human cognition in general. Two primary components of metacognition, knowledge of cognition and regulation of ...

This paper considers psychotic symptoms in terms of false inferences or beliefs. It is based on the notion that the brain is an inference machine that actively constructs hypotheses to explain or predict its sensations. This perspective provides a normative (Bayes-optimal) account of action and perception that emphasizes probabilistic representations; in particular, the confidence or precision ...

The paper describes the benefits of providing an Interactive Learning Environment with an interface which allows explicit planning and instantiation. In addition to providing information about the student's beliefs to the student model, it facilitates the student's learning and metacognition by proving a supportive problem solving environment. Features from a system for teaching logic proofs ha...
