A bit late to the party (Berlin-style😎), but here's our latest paper on domain-generality (or specificity?) of metacognition:

💫Metacognitive domains are not aligned along a dimension of internal-external information source💫

https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13423-022-02201-1

We looked at whether we can group metacognitive domains based on what kind of information is being monitored: internally- (like mnemonic) or externally-generated (like visual), or a mixture of both (for that we made use of our favourite metamotor Skittles task) 🎾💪

We don't really find what we would expect if this were true 🤷‍♀️We suggest a few reasons why, and propose that instead of looking at domains per se, we should perhaps look more at features that make metacognitive ability correlate across different tasks🧐

P.S. Shout-out to @jorgemlg for sharing the code for the visual and memory stimuli! 🙏
