Metacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate
cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and
psychologists, metacognition has recently become the target of
research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain
imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychology and insights from
psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive
functions of the brain.
Chapters cover the definition and measurement of metacognition
in humans and non-human animals, the computational underpinnings of
metacognitive judgments the cognitive neuroscience of
self-monitoring ranging from confidence to error-monitoring and
neuropsychiatric studies of disorders of metacognition.
This book provides an invaluable overview of a rapidly emerging
and important field within cognitive neuroscience.
