Abstract
In this chapter we begin by examining the processes underlying metacognitive judgments, contrasting the two major approaches to the study of metacognition —the developmental and cognitive-experimental approaches. Focusing then on the monitoring of one’s own knowledge during study, we point out the benefits of applying insights from cognitive psychology to the study of the determinants of monitoring accuracy in children. The results of two experiments suggest that similar processes underlie judgments of learning (JOLs) and their accuracy in adults and children.
