The Effect of Metacognitive Knowledge on Local and Global Monitoring.
Schraw, Gregory
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v19 n2 p143-54 Apr 1994
Whether knowledge of cognition affects regulation of cognition was studied with 115 college students assigned to differing levels of self-monitoring ability. Results suggest that most college students possess metacognitive knowledge about their learning, although many do not use this to improve their regulation of test performance. (SLD)
