Social-Cognitive Influences
of Metacognitive Theory
Metacognition is generally defined as knowledge of one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states and the ability to and deliberately monitor and regulate one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states (Hacker, 1998).
Measurement difficulties continue to mess with people's metacognitive judgement
Simply knowing the normative difficulty of a test item was a better predictor of performance than individuals’ own judgments of performance (Nelson et al., 1986)
50/50 accuracy or slightly better, with better accuracy being correlated with better performance (Bol & Hacker, 2001)
Many students remain inaccurate in their judgments of test performance, with low performance strongly associated with overconfidence (Bol & Hacker, 2001)
Metacognitive Measures
Calibration
Judgements of learning (JOL)
Feeling of knowing (FOK)
Confidence judgements
Ease of learning
Serial recall
Allocation of study recall
Public aspects vs Private aspects of self-concept
Public self is the one that can be known by others
family relationships
social recognition
desire to please others
competitive motivation to be the best
social relationships
Private self is the one that can know things
personal traits
talents
attitudes and values
specific abilities
interests
The two work together through interactions with others to create the self-concept
High vs Low self-monitoring ability
Self-monitoring helps people in establishing and maintaining an appropriate situated identity
Low self-monitors reflect personal attitudes, affective states, and talents regardless of social situations (Snyder, 1979)
High self-monitors are sensitive to social and interpersonal cues and to interpersonal appropriateness (Snyder, 1979)
Manipulating characteristics of social situations could lead to better metacognitive accuracy for high self-monitors
Manipulating attitudes of low self-monitors could lead to better metacognitive accuracy
Metamemorial belief systems - the belief that one holds about their memory
How effective you are at remembering certain types of knowledge or cognitive processes
Beliefs about themselves as rememberers
Correctly assessing that knowledge in response to tasks
Retrieving correct knowledge
Self-efficacy applied to memory
