Springer Metacognition: Process, Function and Use - Book

Explore new theories and data regarding metacognitive monitoring and control with Metacognition: Process, Function and Use. Published by Springer, this book provides a deep look into how individuals think about their own cognitive processes. Authored by Thomas O. Nelson from the University of Mary, the text is divided into organized sections and chapters to help readers refine their understanding of metacognition. The content focuses on how metacognition functions during learning, specifically examining judgments of learning that take place shortly after studying new information. While much research focuses on college students, this work expands the scope to look at how these processes work across different contexts and among different individuals. This resource is an essential addition for professionals in psychiatry and those studying the mechanics of human cognition and learning behaviors.
