Metacognition: Knowing About Knowing

The term metacognition describes our self-knowledge about how we perceive remember think and act. This volume contains 12 original contributions that describe psychological research on metacognition and the conditions under which metacognitive beliefs are either veridical spurious or biased. They explore how self-reflective processes are affected by subject variables such as developmental changes or neurological impairment. Finally they identify methodological and theoretical issues important for this kind of research. Annotation copyright Book News Inc. Portland Or.
