- Abstract
This article asserts that metaknowledge may or may not facilitate knowledge and performance. In the literature on human cognition, past few decades have seen progress through clarifying differences between various memory systems, such as implicit versus explicit memory, episodic versus semantic memory, cognition versus metacognition, and so on. The face-value result, that a nonhuman animal can monitor its level of confidence, is important, but the demonstration of what it might mean that an animal does or does not know what it is doing, or can or cannot report how confident it is, might be even more important.
