Metacognition is the first textbook to focus on people's extraordinary ability to evaluate and control their cognitive processes.

To answer these and many other questions, the authors assess major theoretical themes and programmatic research in the field.

The authors also include chapters that define the scope of metacognition and cover its historical origins.
