I've been trying to find a decent video that just gives a basic, cogent explanation of metacognition. This is the only one I've found that is not either obtuse or specifically focused on student learning. Excellent video, thanks! P.S. The word "mnemonic" is one of those crazy words -- it's pronounced "neh-monic".
Thank you, it is a very clear and indeed helpful presentation. I have a question about the procrastination example: I would have thought procrastination is a behaviour and not a thought or a knowledge-related activity; therefore, becoming aware that you are procrastinating is just being aware of something you do. Not metacognitively aware, because there is no 'cognitively' in the first place. I am wondering what is the relationship between simple awareness and regulation of one's own behaviour, on the one hand, and metacognition, on the other: are they synonymous? is metacognition a species of self-awareness? And a second question I have: it seems that most authors assume that once you monitor and self-regulate your activities, you are doing everything better; but I wonder if metacognition could ever be wrong, in fact: I may have a wrong assessment of how I can solve a problem, I can make a plan but then see it does not produce the cognitive results I expected. Could you please bring some light in these two issues or perhaps suggest some useful resources for further reading? Thank you so much!

How would you explain the interconnectedness the metacognitive to problems solving skills?
Thank you for this great video! What is the name of the book by Flavell written in 1976?
Thank you
Thanks!!
Blog post refers to learning styles. It would be useful to point out idea of a kinaesthetic learner etc is a discredited theory.
I agree. I thought I linked to an article I have about that. Will go back and add it if I missed it.
The topic is a foggy as the examples
