- Title
Pigeon parallels to human metacognition.
- Authors
Fantino, Edmund
- Abstract
The study makes a strong case for parallels between human and nonhuman metacognition. The case may be bolstered by an appeal to the literatures on commitment and self-control and to that on observing behavior. The target article presents an interesting array of evidence supporting the suggestion that the study of uncertainty monitoring is a study of metacognition and that humans and other organisms high on the phylogenetic scale demonstrate uncertainty monitoring and metacognition. Similarities between humans and pigeons have been reported in a series of studies on self-awareness, communication and insight reported by Robert Epstein and his colleagues.
