Epistemic Feelings
6 June 2019
11:30-12:30
Santiago Arango Muñoz (Antioquia University, Colombia)
Title: Feeling the mind: an experience-based account of metacognition.
Abstract: Feeling that you are about to remember or forget something, evaluating your mnemonic, perceptual and reasoning capacities, judging that you are good or bad at solving mental problems are all examples of metacognitive episodes. Whenever you evaluate your state of knowledge, you engage in metacognition. In this talk I going to present my research on metacognition. First, I’m going to present a feeling-based theory of metacognition: according to this view subjects monitor their cognitive processes by means of metacognitive feelings. Then, in the second part of my talk, I’m going to characterize these feelings. Finally, as a case study, I will show how metacognitive feelings guide memory retrieval.
