I'd like to study about representations of ourselves in memory and brain, how our self-concept reflected in our memory, and if it is changeable.
I already study about self-memory-system (SMS) theory and "working self" and I'd like to know if there is other theory or articles in this area.
Dear Zeinab,
There are many papers on this issue. For example:
Article Self-Representation and Perspectives in Dreams
Article Dissociating hyper and hypoself biases to a core self-representation
Article Narrations of a nation: Montenegrin self-representation thro...
Article War memory, local history, gender: Self-representation in ex...
Hi Zeinab,
I'd unreservedly recommend reading Antonio Damasio's hugely acclaimed Self Comes to Mind (2010). The book presents an all-encompassing theory of Self representation by the human nervous system that is consistent with current enactivism / embodied cognition perspectives and hierarchical models of representational organization. Lucidly written with a general readership in view.

Regards and good luck!
I know one researcher from Russia who works in the field you are interested in - Veronika Nurkova. I'm not sure, but may be you will find something interesting for you in her works.
Hi Zeinab,
Regarding the brain perspective, you can check out this paper by Lou and colleagues:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC404216/?tool=pmcentrez
If interesting, the same author has follow up papers in TMS and MEG.
Good luck!!

This question is quite old. It started with Flavell's paper on metacognition. So read this paper first. a recent comprehensive book is the Pillow book.They are both given below:
Flavell, J. H .( 1979 ). Metacognition and cognitive monitoring. A new area of cognitive-developmental
inquiry. American Psychologist, 34, 906 – 911 .
Pillow, B. L. (2008). Development of children’s understanding of cognitive activities. The Journal of
Genetic Psychology, 169, 297–321.
