Our main aim in CosgSci Lab (at UDD, Chile) is to understand the psychological mechanisms that underlie the capacity to monitor and regulate our own cognitive processes (also known as metacognition). We carry out research in experimental psychology, social cognition, and behavioral neuroscience.
Meta-Dynamic: In this research program we are interested in investigating the functional architecture underlying the construction of confidence judgments. In this line, we are interested in knowing (i) how individuals accumulate information from the environment (internal and external to the individual) for the construction of a metacognitive judgment; (ii) we also are interested in knowing if such an inferential construction is possible to train and, finally, (iii) if there are (or not) differences in the functional architecture that underlies different metacognitive judgments.
Team:
Meta-Neuropsy: This line of research delves into the role of metacognition in emotional regulation processes. In this line, we are interested in investigating how neuro-hormonal changes, traditionally associated with emotional regulation and dysregulation processes, co-vary with changes in metacognition. I.e.: can the hormonal stress impact in how individuals (meta)regulate their own thoughts and emotions? Additionally, we explore the impact of different neuropsychological conditions in the metacognitive capacity of individuals.
Team:
Meta-Educa: In this research program we study the impact of metacognition during learning processes. In educational sciences, the study of metacognition has a long tradition. However, it is not clear whether the construct worked on in education corresponds to the notions usually investigated in cognitive science. We are interested in (i) evaluating the conceptual and methodological distance of the metacognition concept in education and cognitive sciences; additionally (ii) specify the impact of metacognitive regulation on learning processes, and finally (iii) implement ecological tools for metacognitive assessment in the classroom.
