The authors investigated the predictive utility of people's subjective assessments of whether their evaluations are affect- or cognition driven (i.e., meta-cognitive bases) as separate from whether people's attitudes are actually affect- or cognition based (i.e., structural bases). Study 1 demonstrated that meta-bases uniquely predict interest in affective versus cognitive information above and...

Although theories on meta-cognition and self-monitoring imply the importance of meta-cognition in patient-physician interactions, there is no evidence to support this hypothesis. Thus, we evaluated patient and physician perceptions of the level of a physician's explanation and explored the possible influence of patient meta-cognition on patient responses to physicians. We conducted a questionna...

Effective learning merely does not imply manipulation of information, which is integrated into an existing knowledge base, but rather, directing attention to what one has assimilated, understanding relationship between new information and what is already known, understanding the process which facilitated this and being aware that something new has actually been learnt. This article deals with t...

Since cognition could be treated as problem-solving issues based on dynamical knowledge transferring and propagation, the meta-learning and group learning are put forward in conformance with meta-cognition and group cognition through New Product Development (NPD) analysis. To meet the globally distributed tendency of problem solving with cognitive intention based on Internet technology, a P2P-b...

Definitions of meta-cognition typically have two components: (1) knowledge about one's own cognitive functioning; and, (2) control over one's own cognitive activities. Since Flavell and his colleagues provided the empirical foundation on which to build studies of meta-cognition and the autonoetic (self) knowledge required for effective learning, the intervening years have seen the extensive dis...

This paper describes how meta-cognitive processes may be captured within a cognitive architecture Clarion. Existing cognitive architectures often lack built-in metacognitive mechanisms. However, meta-cognitive processes are important, in that they are an essential part of cognition and without them, cognition may not function properly. We contend that meta-cognitive mechanisms should be an inte...

Problem cognition is often the first step to problem solving. Complex problem solving is often promoted by cooperative cognition. Our research work presented in this paper is initialed by a motivated example. Then meta-cognition and cooperative cognition are explored by defining their Cognition Logic Context and Cognition Resource Context. Cognition evolution is discussed from the transformatio...
