| Book Description | Trends and Prospects in Metacognition presents a collection of chapters dealing principally with independent areas of empirical Metacogition research. These research foci, such as animal metacognition, neuropsychology of metacognition, implicit learning, metacognitive experiences, metamemory, young children's Metacogition, theory of mind, metacognitive knowledge, decision making, and interventions for the enhancement of metacognition, have all emerged as trends in the field of metacognition. Yet, the resulting research has not converged, precluding an integration of concepts and findings. Presenting a new theoretical framework, Trends and Prospects in Metacognition extends the classical definitions offered by Flavell and Nelson to carry the prospect of more integrated work into the future. By opening the possibility to cross the boundaries posed by traditionally independent research areas, this volume provides a foundation for the integration of research paradigms and concepts and builds on the relationship between metacognition and consciousness, while integrating basic with applied research. |
| Editorial Review | This volume also explores a series of new phenomena, not normally considered in metacognition research. These topics include chapters on the experience of having a blank mind," on "fringe consciousness," and on "feelings of difficulty and surprise." These topics open new doors to metacognitive research. This creativity of topics extends to the section on development and education. Here, we find metacognition being linked to relationships of children to parents and metacognition in college professors. Of course, we also find standard topics like judgments of learning and tip-of-the-tongue states. But the addition of these novel topics should spur new research. In sum, this is an excellent edited book and well worth the read." (Bennett L. Schwartz, Florida International University, 2010) |
