Direct linkLorenz Weise – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
Humans often have an intuitive sense of whether they made the right decision or not -- our sense of confidence. In studies on metacognitive faculties, confidence is most often assessed explicitly, by asking participants how confident they are in their response being correct. While we can explicitly report our confidence, implicit methods of…

Jun Zheng; Baike Li; Wenbo Zhao; Ningxin Su; Tian Fan; Yue Yin; Yali Hu; Xiao Hu; Chunliang Yang; Liang Luo – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Successful recognition is generally thought to be based on both recollection and familiarity of studied information. Recent studies found that making judgments of learning (JOLs) can reactively facilitate recognition performance, a form of reactivity effect on memory. The current study aimed to explore the roles of recollection and familiarity in…

Anneke Terneusen; Conny Quaedflieg; Caroline van Heugten; Rudolf Ponds; Ieke Winkens – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Metacognition is important for successful goal-directed behavior. It consists of two main elements: metacognitive knowledge and online awareness. Online awareness consists of monitoring and self-regulation. Metacognitive sensitivity is the extent to which someone can accurately distinguish their own correct from incorrect responses and is an…

Leslie Michelle Bahena Olivares; Ramin Rostampour; Allyson F. Hadwin – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Task understanding is theorized as a critical aspect of effective learning, but its role in self-regulated learning and overall academic performance has been understudied. Research to date indicates that students with adequate task understanding perform well. However, these studies have not demonstrated what practices are needed for developing…

Sophie Wacker; Claudia M. Roebers – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
When young children evaluate their confidence, their monitoring is often overoptimistic, that is, inaccurate. The present study investigated a potential underlying mechanism for kindergarteners' and second graders' overconfidence within a paired associates learning paradigm. We implemented a pre-monitoring phase motivating children to…

Kolic-Vehovec, Svjetlana; Pahljina-Reinic, Rosanda; Roncevic Zubkovic, Barbara – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
The effects of collaborative learning and informing students about the dangers of overconfidence on metacognitive judgments and conceptual learning were examined in two classroom studies. In the first study, the conceptual knowledge of operant conditioning and the confidence judgments of 287 graduate students enrolled in a teacher education…

Çini, Ahsen; Järvelä, Sanna; Dindar, Muhterem; Malmberg, Jonna – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Metacognitive awareness is knowing about learners' own thinking and learning, facilitated by introspection and self-evaluation. Although metacognitive functions are personal, they cannot be explained simply by individual conceptions, especially in a collaborative group learning context. This study considers metacognitive awareness on multiple…

Marulis, Loren M.; Nelson, Lindsey J. – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
Metacognition--knowledge, monitoring, and regulation of cognition--is key to learning and academic achievement. This is robustly supported for K-12 and higher education learners while empirical evidence in early childhood is encouraging but limited. To address these gaps in the literature, our first goal was to investigate early metacognition…

Vuorre, Matti; Metcalfe, Janet – Metacognition and Learning, 2022
This article investigates the concern that assessment of metacognitive resolution (or relative accuracy--often evaluated by gamma correlations or signal detection theoretic measures such as d[subscript a]) is vulnerable to an artifact due to guessing that differentially impacts low as compared to high performers on tasks that involve…

Schnaubert, Lenka; Krukowski, Simon; Bodemer, Daniel – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
Self-regulated learning rarely happens in isolation and although there is a wide range of evidence that socio-cognitive information may impact decision making and learning, its role in metacognitive self-regulation remains understudied. Thus, we investigated how socio-cognitive information on assumptions and confidence in assumptions of an unknown…

Mariëtte van Loon; Claudia M. Roebers – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
This study aims to understand individual differences between children in metacognitive monitoring and control processes and the developmental trajectories of metacognition over one year. Three indicators of procedural metacognition were used: monitoring accuracy (discrimination of confidence judgments between correct and incorrect test responses),…

Gönül, Gökhan; Tsalas, Nike; Paulus, Markus – Metacognition and Learning, 2021
The effect of time pressure on metacognitive control is of theoretical and empirical relevance and is likely to allow us to tap into developmental differences in performances which do not become apparent otherwise, as previous studies suggest. In the present study, we investigated the effect of time pressure on metacognitive control in three age…

A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Ying Wang; Rayne A. Sperling; Jennelle L. Malcos – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
The present study investigated the extent to which monitoring practice and timely monitoring feedback, contextualized in an online undergraduate biology course, improved students' metacognitive monitoring and learning outcomes. The intervention followed a true experimental design and randomly assigned 162 students into three conditions: a control…

Wandong Xu; Xinhua Zhu – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Despite the widely recognized importance of metacognition in language learning, relatively few empirical studies have investigated the role of metacognitive strategies with a cross-linguistic perspective. Drawing on the mixed-method design combining questionnaire and interview data, this study systematically investigated the effects, the transfer…
