Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Metacognition. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
This paper models decision makers who are cognisant of their own potential unawareness and who may have an a priori sense that not all unknowns are equal. Different types of surprises may be anticipated in different situations, and this matters for...
Background Up to 50% of patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) attending detoxification programs relapse in the following year. Poor insight – insight referring to the capacity of psychiatric patients to recognize and accept their mental disorders...
Metaphors convey meanings beyond their literal interpretation, requiring individuals to rely on linguistic and cognitive resources beyond those used for literal language. Models of metaphor comprehension propose different routes to deriving...
Service-robot failures raise the question of whether describing a robot as an intentional agent rather than as a designed machine changes users’ responses. Drawing primarily on Mind Perception Theory, this research separates stance-prompting frames...
In everyday social situations, people use knowledge about knowledge of their interaction partners (partner models). For example, students need to encode and remember whether their learning partner knows a lot or only a little about a specific...
When solving a problem with a clear goal, people often break down the problem into subgoals, a form of reasoning known as backward reasoning. The cognitive mechanisms of backward reasoning are poorly understood. Inspired by classic ideas from Newell...
Given the abundance and diversity of information available online, individuals must monitor and control operations on their memories about the various information sources they encounter. The current study examined whether Intellectual Humility (IH)...
Accurate metacognitive monitoring is crucial for effective regulation of learning and performance, yet little is known about its cognitive determinants in childhood. The present study investigated the role of executive functions – specifically...
Making the best choice in one situation is critical, but it relies on limited cognitive capacities. Numerous animal species adjust the amount of cognitive resources allocated to a decision using a trade-off between speed and accuracy, where decision...
Older adults often exhibit more positive impressions when forming trustworthiness impressions based on facial appearance. These judgements influence social decisions in later interpersonal interactions and are thought to put older adults at greater...
Entrepreneurship education started using more experience-based methods in its effort to graduate students with real-world experience. This study explores the relationship between design thinking, project-based pedagogy, project-based pedagogy and...
Predictive processing and active inference have transformed our understanding of perception and action as processes of hierarchical prediction, error signalling, and model revision. Yet closure-oriented appropriations of this framework confront a...
Sense of agency (SoA), the experience of controlling one’s actions and their consequences, is crucial for self-representation and adaptive goal-directed behavior. Much of today’s cognitive work is performed through interaction with systems that are...
Insight, also referred to as the “Aha!” moment, is a distinctive cognitive phenomenon in which an idea or solution to a problem suddenly emerges into consciousness. Although the literature describes it extensively, the nature of its distinctive...
While establishing and sustaining meaning, goals, and purpose can be a matter of projecting inner aspirations into the world, it may also be that the world (of God, people, other species, objects) can afford a person roles, purpose, and...
Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a source model pre-trained on a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain, under the constraint that the original source data is no longer accessible. While some existing approaches...
Spatial reasoning has emerged as a central construct in mathematics education research, recognised for its foundational role in geometric understanding and mathematical problem-solving. This ability plays an important role in supporting...
Metacognition enables organisms to self-evaluate their own cognitive processes. In humans, this capacity underpins adaptive learning, social coordination and the formation of self-beliefs about skill and ability. A core motif that underpins multiple...
Academic writing serves as a cornerstone of higher education pedagogy and assessment, deeply intertwined with learners’ subjective and affective experiences. Beyond its cognitive demands, the writing process is heavily shaped by affective variables,...
