There is a growing theoretical and practical interest in the topic of metacognition: how mental processses are monitored and controlled. This study overviews the relationship between theories in metacognition and their real-world applications. In addition to a theoretical overview, chapters cover metacognition in three areas: education, everyday life memory and in diverse populations.
