Does metacognition necessarily involve metarepresentation?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (3):352-352 (2003)
| Abstract | Against the view that metacognition is a capacity that parallels theory of mind, it is argued that metacognition need involve neither metarepresentation nor semantic forms of reflexivity, but only process-reflexivity, through which a task-specific system monitors its own internal feedback by using quantitative cues. Metacognitive activities, however, may be redescribed in metarepresentational, mentalistic terms in species endowed with a theory of mind. | |||||||||
