Previous task experience in metacognitive experience.
This study examined the sources of differences in the correlations among metacognitive experiences and between metacognitive experiences with performance. Task experience was treated as the source of differences. 70 Japanese undergraduate students solved two tasks, one similar to those experienced (experienced task) and the other one barely experienced previously (task not experienced). Correlations among metacognitive experiences showed outcomes of the experienced task supported findings from Efklides' laboratory, and those from a task not experienced were consistent with those of Akama and Yamauchi. The nature of metacognitive experiences in problem-solving is discussed.
