Metamemory or Socratic awareness , a type of metacognition , is both the self-examining
knowledge of one 's possess memory capacity ( and strategy that can aid memory ) and the
processes involved in memory self-monitoring .This self-awareness of memory has
important implications for how people learn and use computer storage .When studying , for
model , bookman make judgments of whether they have successfully learned the assigned
material and use these conclusion , known as `` judgments of learning '' , to allocate study
time .== chronicle == Descartes , among other philosophers , marveled at the phenomenon
of what we now know as metacognition .`` It was not so lots thinking that was indisputable
to Descartes , but rather thinking about thought .What he could not ideate was that the
someone engaged in such self-reflective processing did not survive .`` : 197 In the late
nineteenth 100 , Bowne and Jesse James contemplated , but did not scientifically examine ,
the relationship between memory judgments and retentivity execution .During the
sovereignty of behaviourism in the mid-20th hundred , unobservable phenomena such as
metacognition were largely ignored .One former scientific survey of metamemory was Hart
's 1965 written report , which examined the truth of look of knowing ( FOK ) .FOK occurs
when an individual feel that they have something in memory that can not be recalled , but
would constitute recognized if seen .Hart expanded upon limited investigations of FOK
which had presupposed that FOK was accurate .The solvent of Hart 's study indicate that
FOK is indeed a relatively accurate indicator of what is in store .In a 1970 review article of
memory research , Tulving and Madigan concluded that advances in the study of memory
might want the experimental investigation of “ one of the truly unique feature of human
retention : its noesis of its own cognition ” .: 477 It was around the like clip that toilet H.
Flavell coined the full term `` metamemory '' in a discussion on the development of
computer storage .Since then , numerous metamemory phenomena have been studied ,
including perspicacity of learnedness , touch of knowing , knowing that you do n't fuck , and
know vs. remember .Nelson and Narens proposed a theoretical framework for
understanding metacognition and metamemory .In this theoretical account there are two
levels : the object grade ( for lesson , cognition and remembering ) and the meta degree ( for
exemplar , metacognition and metamemory ) .data rate of flow from the meta grade to the
objective storey is called control , and information flow from the object degree to the meta
level is called monitoring .Both monitoring and control processes occur in learning ,
retention , and retrieval .Examples of ascendence processes are allocating study sentence
and selecting search scheme , and good example of monitoring cognitive process are ease of
learning ( EOL ) and feeling of knowing ( FOK ) legal opinion .Monitoring and contain might
live further divided into subprocesses depending on the types of remark , computations ,
and outputs required at different leg of the memory process .For example , monitoring
abilities appear to be sufficiently dissimilar during encoding-based and retrieval-based
metamemory judgments to constitute different monitoring system of rules .The report of
metamemory has some similarity to introspection in that it assumes that a memorizer is
able to look into and report on the depicted object of memory board .Current metamemory
researchers acknowledge that an person 's introspections contain both accuracies and
distortions and are interested in what this conscious monitoring ( even if it is not always
accurate ) reveals about the memory system .== Theories == === Cue conversance
supposition === The pool stick familiarity hypothesis was proposed by Reder and Ritter
after completing a pair of experiments which indicated that individuals can measure their
ability to answer a question before trying to answer it .This determination suggests that the
question ( cue ) and not the actual memory ( mark ) is essential for making metamemory
mind .Consequently , this hypothesis implies that sound judgement regarding metamemory
are based on an someone 's level of conversance with the entropy provided in the pool
cue .Therefore , an mortal is more likely to try that they know the resolution to a question if
they are familiar with its matter or terms and more likely to judge that they do not know the
answer to a question which presents new or unfamiliar terms .=== handiness hypothesis
=== The availableness speculation suggests that memory will be exact when the ease of
processing ( accessibility ) is correlated with memory board behaviour ; however , if the
ease of processing is not correlated with retention in a given task , then the judgement will
not be accurate .Proposed by Koriat , the theory suggests that player base their judicial
decision on call back entropy rather than basing them on the sheer intimacy of the
cues .Along with the lexical social unit , people may utilise partial information that could
constitute decline or incorrect .According to Koriat , the participants themselves do not get
it on whether the information they are retrieving is correct or incorrect almost of the
clip .The quality of information retrieved depends on individual element of that information
.The individual elements of information differ in intensity level and swiftness of access to
the information .Research by Vigliocco , Antonini , and Garrett ( 1997 ) and Miozzo and
Caramazza ( 1997 ) showed that someone in a tip-of-the-tongue ( TOT ) state were able to
retrieve partial knowledge ( gender ) about the unrecalled words , providing strong
evidence for the accessibility heuristic program .=== Competition supposition === The
contention hypothesis is best described using three principles .The first is that many brain
scheme are activated by visual input , and the activations by these different stimulant
compete for processing access .Secondly , contest occurs in multiple Einstein systems and is
integrated amongst these individual arrangement .Finally , competition can be assessed
( using top-down neural priming ) based on the relevant device characteristic of the object
at manus .More contention , also referred to as more interfering activation , leads to poorer
reminiscence when tested .This hypothesis contrasts with the cue-familiarity hypothesis
because aim similar to the object can influence one 's FOK , not just similar associates of the
cues .It also contrasts with the availability possibility wherein the more approachable
selective information is , the higher the valuation , or the ameliorate the
reminiscence .According to the competition hypothesis , lupus erythematosus activation
would result in near recollection .Whereas the accessibility panorama predicts higher
metamemory ratings in disturbance conditions , the rivalry hypothesis predicts lower
ratings .=== interactive hypothesis === The interactive hypothesis constitutes a
combination of the discriminative stimulus acquaintance and accessibility
conjecture .According to this hypothesis , cue indecorum is employed initially , and only
once pool cue indecorum fails to furnish enough entropy to make an inference does
availability fare into play .This `` cascade '' structure accounts for remainder in the metre
required to make a metamemory judging ; discernment which occur quickly are based on
cue familiarity , while slower response are based on both cue familiarity and
accessibility .== Phenomena == === Judgment of learning === Judgments of acquisition
( JOLs ) or metamemory judgments are made when knowledge is acquired .Metamnemonic
sagacity are based on dissimilar sources of information , and target information is
important for JOLs .intrinsical clue ( based on the objective information ) and
mnemotechnical clue ( based on old JOL carrying out ) are especially important for
JOLs .Judgment of acquisition can be divided into four categories : ease-of-learning
judgments , paired-associate JOLs , ease-of-recognition judgments , and free-recall
JOLs .Ease-of-Learning Judgments : These judgment are made before a study
tribulation .case can evaluate how much poring over will be required to learn the picky
entropy presented to them ( typically cue-target duad ) .These judgments can be
categorized as preacquisition judicial decision which are made before the knowledge is
stored .piffling research addresses this kind of mind ; however , evidence suggests that JOLs
are at least somewhat precise at predicting learning charge per unit .Therefore , these
sagaciousness occur in overture of learning and allow individuals to allot study clip to the
stuff that they are required to learn .Paired-Associate sound judgement of acquisition :
These judgments are made at the time of subject on cue-target pairs and are creditworthy
for predicting afterward computer memory carrying out ( on cued recollection or cued
identification ) .One deterrent example of paired-associate JOLs is the cue-target JOL , where
the subject area determines the retrievability of the target when both the clue and quarry of
the to-be-learned duo are presented .
