Synopsis Metacognition and Theory of Mind by : Eleonora Papaleontiou-Louca

This little book aims to clarify and give a synoptic description of both the notions of â ~Metacognitionâ (TM) and â ~Theory of Mindâ (TM), as well as a short comparison of these two â ~hotâ (TM) scientific topics. After giving the theoretical framework of the concept of â ~Metacognitionâ (TM), it describes a number of practical suggestions of how educators of all levels can enhance their studentsâ (TM) metacognitive abilities in practice. Then it analyzes all the basic aspects of the concept of â ~Theory of Mindâ (TM) and its relation to Language. Finally, it tries to combine the two theoretical concepts, i.e. â ~Metacognitionâ (TM) and â ~Theory of Mindâ (TM), by making some helpful clarifications and identifying their major similarities, differences and convergences. In this way, the author hopes strongly to contribute to the resume of the Literature Review in a concise and handy volume, and wishes to help all the interesting parts, scholars and teachers, to do their own insights and improvements (theoretical and practical) in these crucial areas.

Synopsis Trends and Prospects in Metacognition Research by : Anastasia Efklides

Trends and Prospects in Metacognition presents a collection of chapters dealing principally with independent areas of empirical Metacogition research. These research foci, such as animal metacognition, neuropsychology of metacognition, implicit learning, metacognitive experiences, metamemory, young children's Metacogition, theory of mind, metacognitive knowledge, decision making, and interventions for the enhancement of metacognition, have all emerged as trends in the field of metacognition. Yet, the resulting research has not converged, precluding an integration of concepts and findings. Presenting a new theoretical framework, Trends and Prospects in Metacognition extends the classical definitions offered by Flavell and Nelson to carry the prospect of more integrated work into the future. By opening the possibility to cross the boundaries posed by traditionally independent research areas, this volume provides a foundation for the integration of research paradigms and concepts and builds on the relationship between metacognition and consciousness, while integrating basic with applied research.

Synopsis Children's Reasoning and the Mind by : Peter Mitchell

This fresh and dynamic book offers a thorough investigation into the development of the cognitive processes that underpin judgements about mental states (often termed 'theory of mind') and addresses specific issues that have not been adequately dealt with in the past, and which are now being raised by some of the most prominent researchers in the field.

Synopsis Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression by : Adrian Wells

This groundbreaking book explains the "whats" and "how-tos" of metacognitive therapy (MCT), an innovative form of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a growing empirical evidence base. MCT developer Adrian Wells shows that much psychological distress results from how a person responds to negative thoughts and beliefs?for example, by ruminating or worrying?rather than the content of those thoughts. He presents practical techniques and specific protocols for addressing metacognitive processes to effectively treat generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive?compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and major depression. Special features include reproducible treatment plans and assessment and case formulation tools, plus a wealth of illustrative case material.

Synopsis Metacognition by : Julianna Benson

The development of metacognitive skills in the human mind has been and is still a great challenge in cognitive psychology. This book provides current research on the theories and performance of metacognition. Chapter One analyzes the nature of metacognition conceptually with respect to its relationship to cognition. Chapter Two studies metacognition and cognitive flexibility in the transfer of learning. Chapter Three focuses on metacognition, self-regulation and feedback for object-oriented programming problem-solving. Chapter Four discusses a learning integrated approach to developing metacognition in school. Chapter Five highlights strategies which can be used to develop metacognition in classical dance classes. Chapter Six investigates the effectiveness of reciprocal and self-check teaching style in promoting metacognition in physical education classes.

Synopsis The Cognitive Neuroscience of Metacognition by : Stephen M. Fleming

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.

Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Consciousness by : Philip David Zelazo

The Cambridge Handbook of Consciousness is the first of its kind in the field, and its appearance marks a unique time in the history of intellectual inquiry on the topic. After decades during which consciousness was considered beyond the scope of legitimate scientific investigation, consciousness re-emerged as a popular focus of research towards the end of the last century, and it has remained so for nearly 20 years. There are now so many different lines of investigation on consciousness that the time has come when the field may finally benefit from a book that pulls them together and, by juxtaposing them, provides a comprehensive survey of this exciting field. An authoritative desk reference, which will also be suitable as an advanced textbook.

Synopsis The Taxonomy of Metacognition by : Pina Tarricone

Metacognition is a complex construct which is fundamental to learning. Its complex, fuzzy and multifaceted nature has often led to its colloquial application in research, resulting in studies that fail to identify its theoretical foundation or elements. In response to this, the research community continues to call for a comprehensive understanding of the construct of metacognition. This book is a response to this call for clarity. Pina Tarricone provides a theoretical study of the construct of metacognition in terms of psychological theory. The first part of the book analyses the relationship between reflection and metacognition, and the second part goes on to analyse the construct of metamemory as the foundation of metacognition. The third and final part of the book analyses the construct of metacognition to present the final conceptual framework of metacognition and the taxonomy of metacognition. This framework builds a picture and a nexus of the construct through visual links to the related concepts that contribute to what is known as metacognition. The Taxonomy of Metacognition provides a comprehensive representation and categorisation of all of the terms, concepts, categories, supercategories, subcategories and elements of metacognition. It clarifies the construct so that researchers and teachers can develop a better understanding of it. This important and broad ranging contribution can be applied to many related areas, by researchers, psychologists, teachers and any profession interested in psychological learning processes.
