{"product_id":"philosophy-of-metacognition-jozlle-proust-9780199602162","title":"Philosophy of Metacognition: Mental Agency and Self-Awareness","description":"Does metacognition, i.e. the capacity to form epistemic self-evaluations about one's current cognitive performance, derive from a mindreading capacity, or does it rely, at least in part, on sui generis informational processes? In \u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Metacognition\u003c\/em\u003e Joëlle Proust provides a\u003cbr\u003epowerful defense of the second position. Drawing on discussions of empirical evidence from comparative, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as from neuroscience, and on conceptual analyses, she purports to show that, in contrast with analytic metacognition, procedural metacognition\u003cbr\u003edoes not need to involve metarepresentations. Procedural metacognition seems to be available to some non-humans (some primates and rodents). Proust further claims that metacognition is essentially related to mental agency, i.e. cognitive control and monitoring. \"Self-probing\" is equivalent to a\u003cbr\u003eself-addressed question about the feasibility of a mental action ('Am I able to remember this word?'). \"Post-evaluating\" is a way of asking oneself whether a given mental action has been successfully completed \"'Is this word the one I was looking for?\"). Neither question need be articulated\u003cbr\u003econceptually for a feeling of knowing or of being right to be generated, or to drive epistemic control. Various issues raised by the contrast of a procedural, experience-based metacognition, with an analytic, concept-based metacognition are explored, such as whether each is expressed in a different\u003cbr\u003erepresentational format, their sensitivity to different epistemic norms, and the existence of a variety of types of epistemic acceptance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joëlle Proust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199602166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199602162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Joëlle Proust","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419025129727,"sku":"9780199602162","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7003555f-2ff4-44ac-96ee-79bf60ddb626.jpg?v=1761508988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-of-metacognition-jozlle-proust-9780199602162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
