Abstract

Disorders in the ability to understand mental states (metacognition) have an important role in psychopathology. Some clinicians talk of a generalised impairment of metacognition and others of malfunctioning of specific aspects. We compare two contrasting hypotheses. We call the first one ‘fast running’ hypothesis according to which metacognition is a single function, like speed in running. The second one is the ‘tennis playing’ hypothesis according to which metacognition is composed, like the ability to play tennis, of various, relatively independent skills, which can get impaired selectively. We reviewed the main theories and researches on metacognition and, therefore, we outlined a research programme based on them, describing the contribution made by the research on the psychotherapeutic process to this programme.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
