Hi Babu, this is indeed an interesting topic, the way i do it with some of my patients is by simply asking a few questions after they solve a cognitive task, i ask what the task was about, what where the rules (if there were some), how they managed to complete the task, when they made mistakes how do they notice them and then what plan they thought to solve those mistakes. I think fMRI or MEG techniques could give us better insight about this process. Anyway, if you manage to find better info please share!

Regards

Hi Jorge,

Thank you so much for your valuable inputs especially by utilizing clinical diagnostic techniques. Both qualitative and quantitative data would possibly help us. I would surely share if I come across any sources.

Hi friends,

I came across this interesting review article on 'Assessing Metacognition - Theory and Practice' by Nesrin Ozturk. The author outlines a number of strategies to assess different components of Metacognition. It would be worth reading

Thanks for sharing Babu Noushad

I find the beeper method very promising. Often we do not pay attention to the way we learn, deal with problems, etc. and the signal coming from a beeper at different times of the day, forces us to pause and consider in the midst of the moment. Combined with the learning on different approaches and emotions, it could be a powerful method.

Thank you so much Jolanta. The beeper option seems to be an interesting and effective option. Could you please suggest any literature on the use of this method?

I believe Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi used this in his flow experiments. I also found this article

Investigating Conscious Experience through the Beeper Project https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1207/S15328023TOP2904_08?journalCode=topa

And another (the word pagers is also used) The Experience Sampling Method - Springer (by Reed Larson and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)

Dear Jolanta,

Thank you so much for directing me into Experience Sampling Method. We can be innovative in its implementation to enhance the objectivity of data we collect. I found it better than the 'Sticker Time Diary' technique since we prompt participants then and there to record their thought processes.
