Social Influences on Metacognition: Effects of Colearner Questioning on Comprehension Monitoring.
Karabenick, Stuart A.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v88 n4 p689-703 Dec 1996
Four experiments involving 286 undergraduates examined social influences on metacognition, testing whether learner's knowledge that colearners have questions about the material affects their own levels of comprehension. Overall, the more questions colearners signaled having, the more confusion learners admitted having. (SLD)
