Monitoring or control of one's own <cognition>. <Metacognitive monitoring> estimates aspects of current or future performance, while <metacognitive control> uses such estimates to guide behaviour. <Metamemory> applies these functions to remembering; <uncertainty responses> provide a way to study some of them without verbal reports. Successful behaviour alone need not establish <introspection> or subjective awareness.
