Uncertain what uncertainty monitoring monitors.

- Abstract
In this article authors assert that a metacognition model suggested by researcher is interesting, but only with respect to human participants. Experimental tasks, although interpreted as paralleling human thought processes, are wrought with methodological issues when applied to nonhuman animals. The model assumes that what creates uncertainty in humans also creates uncertainty in monkeys, but differences in environment and environment-specific functioning suggest that the stimuli of uncertainty would also be different. Furthermore, researchers lend no discussion to current neuropsychological literature describing that many metacognitive activities occur in the prefrontal cortex.
