Proposal Title
Developing a Neurological Understanding of Metacognition
Abstract
Metacognitive interventions have been shown to be tremendously important to general education and supporting individuals with neurological disabilities (Brown, 1978; Webb, 1989; Dunlosky & Metcalfe, 2009; Dweck, 2017). This presentation details the many facets and relationships between neurology and metacognition. The investigation draws from a wide diversity of neuro-investigational techniques and findings related to metacognition, executive function, self-reflection, self-evaluation, self-development and self-directed learning. Common themes from the research will be highlighted to broaden understanding and the very practical impact of further investigation into this field of inquiry.
