While engineering programs must continue to cover the maximum breadth and depth of content information possible, these programs can also take an active role in encouraging and fostering additional dispositions to help their graduates adapt to their professional career. We define an adaptive expert as an individual who possesses the content knowledge of an expert, but who in addition displays sp...

The sense of agency is the experience of initiating and controlling one's voluntary actions and their outcomes. Intentional binding (i.e., when voluntary actions and their outcomes are perceived to occur closer together in time than involuntary actions and their outcomes) is increased in intentional action but requires no explicit reflection on agency. The reported experience of involuntariness...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to explore the basis of the strong feeling of conviction and the high resistance to change characteristic of delusions and to test whether patients with schizophrenia suffering from delusions have specific metacognitive impairments when compared to both patients without delusions and healthy controls. METHODS 14 actively delusional patients with s...

Using Discounted Utterances (DUs) in spontaneous conversation by applying text mining technology, extraction, and evaluation, we focused on DUs where values were buried in previous conversations. We discovered DU potentials by reconsidering them through human-computer interaction. Onlinechat experiments clarified DU features and demonstrated our system’s importance. We found DUs involving (1) e...

Maintaining adequate performance in dynamic and uncertain settings has been a perennial stumbling block for intelligent systems. Nevertheless, any system intended for real-world deployment must be able to accommodate unexpected change—that is, it must be perturbation tolerant. We have found that metacognitive monitoring and control—the ability of a system to self-monitor its own decision-making...

objective: metacognitions are vulnerability factors in predicting development of psychological disorders especially generalized anxiety disorder (gad) and dysthymia, which are highly comorbid. many studies have shown that gad and dysthymia have similar underlying metacognitive factors but the results are contradictory. the aim of present research was to test this hypothesis by using new instrum...

Objective: The aim of the present research was to study the effect of the metacognition training on the metacognition approaches and the magnitude of disposition towards substance abuse as the result of learning various metacognition strategies.  Methods: The research method was experimental with the pre-test, post-test design. The Statistical population included all of abusers male in TC, B...

Many complex systems maintain a self-referential check and balance. In animals, such reflective monitoring and control processes have been grouped under the rubric of metacognition. In this introductory article to a Theme Issue on metacognition, we review recent and rapidly progressing developments from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, computer science and philosophy of mind. While each of t...

There are several terms used to describe the same phenomenon, and the same term is used to describe different phenomena. It confuses us and makes metacognition miracle. What is metacognition? We have been tackling the problem by defining our own criteria for determining what metacognition is or what cognition is. Through a survey of related works, we try to define the criteria and classify skil...
