A propos de cet article

Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6". xiii, 334pp. Mild rubbing and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Light foxing to inside of jacket. Faint toning to covers of black cloth over boards. Dust-spotting of edges of text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Metacognition offers an up-to-date compendium of major scientific issues involved in metacognition. The twelve original contributions provide a concise statement of theoretical and empirical research on self-reflective processes or knowing about what we know. Self-reflective processes are often thought to be central to what we mean by consciousness and the personal self. Without such processes, one would presumably respond to stimuli in an automatized and environmentally bound manner that is, without the characteristic patterns of behavior and introspection that are manifested as plans, strategies, reflections, self-control, self-monitoring, and intelligence.(Publisher).

Synopsis

This text offers an up-to-date compendium of major scientific issues involved in metacognition. The 12 original contributions provide a concise statement of theoretical and empirical research on self-reflective processes, or knowing about what we know. Self-reflective processes are often thought to be central to what we mean by consciousness and the personal self. Without such processes, one would presumably respond to stimuli in an automatized and environmentally bound manner - that is, without the characteristic pattems of behavior and introspection that are manifested as plans, strategies, reflections, self-control, self-monitoring and intelligence.
