Metacognition refers to the awareness an individual has of their
own mental processes (also referred to as ' thinking about
thinking'). In the past thirty years metacognition research has
become a rapidly growing field of interdisciplinary research within
the cognitive sciences. Just recently, there have been major
changes in this field, stimulated by the controversial issues of
metacognition in nonhuman animals and in early infancy.
Consequently the question what defines a metacognitive process has
become a matter of debate: how should one distinguish between
simple minds that are not yet capable of any metacognitive
processing, and minds with a more advanced architecture that
exhibit such a capacity? Do nonhuman animals process the ability to
monitor their own mental actions? If metacognition is unique to
humans, then at what stage in development does it occur, and how
can we distinguish between cognitive and metacognitive processes?
