Metacognition is understood as the awareness and the understanding of one’s own cognitive processes. More precisely, metacognition enables us to process, monitor and evaluate one’s own knowledge and performance at a given task. As such, it makes us aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, and helps us adjust and learn. With self-reflection at its core, metacognition is also thought to be closely linked to perceptual awareness and consciousness.
This Collection presents research about the underlying mechanisms of metacognition, its development and function as well as its relation to consciousness.
