Humans have a capacity to become aware of thoughts and behaviours known as metacognition. Metacognitive efficiency refers to the relationship between subjective reports and objective behaviour. Understanding how this efficiency changes as we age is important because poor metacognition can lead to negative consequences, such as believing one is a good driver despite a recent spate of accidents. ...

objective: metacognitions are vulnerability factors in predicting development of psychological disorders especially generalized anxiety disorder (gad) and dysthymia, which are highly comorbid. many studies have shown that gad and dysthymia have similar underlying metacognitive factors but the results are contradictory. the aim of present research was to test this hypothesis by using new instrum...

Many complex systems maintain a self-referential check and balance. In animals, such reflective monitoring and control processes have been grouped under the rubric of metacognition. In this introductory article to a Theme Issue on metacognition, we review recent and rapidly progressing developments from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, computer science and philosophy of mind. While each of t...

There are several terms used to describe the same phenomenon, and the same term is used to describe different phenomena. It confuses us and makes metacognition miracle. What is metacognition? We have been tackling the problem by defining our own criteria for determining what metacognition is or what cognition is. Through a survey of related works, we try to define the criteria and classify skil...

Significant metacognitive impairments are observed in chronic psychosis samples but metacognition is less understood in first episode psychosis (FEP). The current study explored correlations between metacognition, symptoms and premorbid functioning in an FEP sample. In a cross-sectional cohort study, individuals in the first 12 months of treatment metacognition were assessed with the Metacognit...

However, to date, there are ...

Here, we demonstrated the opposite dissociation: a reliable relationship between confidence and judgment a...

Student overconfidence challenges success in introductory biology. This study examined the impact of classroom learning communities and self-assessment on student metacognition and subsequent impact on student epistemological beliefs, behaviors, and learning. Students wrote weekly self-assessments reflecting on the process of learning and received individual feedback. Students completed a learn...
