Metacognition is a term that spans many sub-areas in psychology and
means different things to different people. A dominant view has
been that metacognition involves the monitoring of performance in
order to control cognition; however, it seems reasonable that much
of this control runs implicitly (i.e., without awareness). Newer
still is the field of implicit memory, and it has different
connotations to different sub-groups as well. The editor of this
volume takes it to mean that a prior experience affects behavior
without the individual's appreciation (ability to report) of this
influence.
Implicit memory and metacognition seem to be at two opposite ends
of the spectrum -- one seemingly conscious and control-oriented,
the other occurring without subjects' awareness. Do these processes
relate to each other in interesting ways, or do they operate
independently without reference to each other? The relatively novel
conjecture that much of the control of cognition operates at an
implicit level sparked Reder's desire to explore the
interrelationship between the two fields.
Developed within the last two decades, both fields are very new
and generate a great deal of excitement and research interest.
Hundreds of articles have been written about metacognition and
about implicit memory, but little if any material has been
published about the two areas in combination. In other words,
"Metacognition and Implicit Memory" is the first book attempting to
integrate what should be closely linked efforts in the study of
cognitive science.
