Abstract:
Metacognition – the capacity of humans to reflect on their own learning, memory, and thinking – has attracted a great deal of interest from researchers and practitioners in cognitive psychology and many other fields. This talk will give an overview of recent basic and applied research on metacognition from the applied cognitive psychology group. In the first part of the talk, i will present basic research that addresses the question: how do people know that they know (or do not know)? In the second part of the talk, i will discuss more applied research that examines the impact of assessing people's metacognitions on their actual performance in educationally relevant learning situations.
