cognitive and social dimensions

Edición de la obra Metacognition

Metacognition - cognitive processes that apply to themselves - is becoming increasingly recognized as a fundamental aspect of human psychology. In this broad-ranging book, a group of internationally renowned authors show how a full analysis of human reasoning and behaviour requires an understanding of both cognitive and metacognitive activities. Important insights from across social and cognitive psychology are drawn together to offer an unmatched overview of this major debate and a number of key questions are addressed. Interdisciplinary and innovative in its approach, Metacognition will be invaluable for students and academics in social and cognitive psychology.
