Talk:Metacognition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
needs wikification, and tone cleanup. at the moment it reads like a metacognition is the best thing since sliced bread. Zeimusu | Talk page 09:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's worse than you think. Most of the article is copyvio, taken from [1]. The last version with no copyright problems was on March 6, 2005. I'm going to have to revert, unfortunately. I will try to preserve stuff that has been added since that date. —Caesura(t) 21:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] still needs lots of clean up
the introductory section is still far too long and contains several errors. regarding the content, i feel the emphasis on the role of metacognition in learning is over-emphasized, or at least introduced too soon: i think the concept should be introduced first without bringing up its utility in the learning process in the same breath. also still needs to shift its tone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.109.183.207 (talk) 17:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
- Golly. This article really seems like it was written solely by someone in the Education department. It seems like the term should be defined more equitably as it is used in different fields, such as philosophy, neuroscience if applicable, psychology, etc. Unfortunately, I'm not qualified.

Under "Linkage to Intelligence," I deleted the final sentence for what I claim are obvious reasons. It read "Well i think metacognition is knowing how you know what you know." Perhaps someone more qualified could turn that assertion into something sensible and well-explained and add it back to the section.

[edit] Minor clean-up
Based on the New Scientist article. It's all new to me, so I am not going to change anything else. --GwydionM 19:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Defnition of Metacognition
Metacognition is the knowledge (i.e. awareness) of one's cognitive processes and the efficient use of this self-awareness to self-regulate these cognitive processes (e.g. Brown, 1987; Niemi, 2002; Shimamura, 2000).

[edit] Grammatical or Logical error
This sentence is too broken for me to understand the original meaning:
Much of the existing research on metacognition, at least in the domain of experimental psychology, has and cognition work (which are frequently incorrect).
