Metacognition and the Expertise of Computer Program Comprehension.
Etelapelto, Anneli
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v37 n3 p243-54 1993

Results indicate that experts have a close interaction between metacognitive knowledge, task-specific awareness, and cognitive monitoring that is missing in novices. (SLD)
