Theories, Methods, Individual Differences and Applications
Conceived as the successor to Gregg and Steinberg's Cognitive Processes in Writing, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach to writing research. The authors describe their current thinking and data in such a way that readers in psychology, English, education, and linguistics will find it readable and stimulating. It should serve as a resource book of theory, tools and techniques, and applications that should stimulate and guide the field for the next decade. The chapters showcase approaches taken by active researchers in eight countries. Some of these researchers have published widely in their native language but little of their work has appeared in English-language publications.
So a subsidiary question in the research into writing processes should be on the
interrelation between the distinguished cognitive activities, especially the relation
between metacognition and cognitive activities. What is the functional span of metacognitive activities? To plan to structure, but not engage in not structuring at
all for some reason, and to plan to structure followed by structuring should have
different outcomes. We estimated the covariance between time and the correlation ...
The Oxford Handbook of Metamemory investigates the human ability to evaluate and control learning and information retrieval processes. Each chapter in this authoritative guide highlights a different facet of metamemory research, including classical metamemory judgments; applications of metamemory research to the classroom and courtroom; and cutting-edge perspectives on continuing debates and theory. Chapters also provide broad historical overviews of each research area and discussions of promising directions for future research. The breadth and depth of coverage on offer in this Handbook make it ideal for seminars on metamemory or metacognition. It would also be a valuable supplement for advanced courses on cognitive psychology, of use especially to graduate students and more seasoned researchers who are interested in exploring metamemory for the first time.
The structure of the task was similar to the perceptual metacognitive task:
participants made a two-alternative forced choice verbal memory decision about
just-studied words. This memory decision was followed by a meta-level
confidence rating concerning the basic-level decision. They found, as had
Fleming et al. that there was a correlation between the volume of the frontal polar
region and the goodness of metacognition in the perceptual task. Furthermore,
this correlation was found ...
The daily life of being a parent is not without it's fair share of stress. It's completely impossible to raise a child and remain completely stress free all the time, but this quick read will show you how you can manage that stress better.

Neutral, unprotected phenylalanyl-glycyl-glycine (FGG) has been found to adopt four distinct rotational conformers under jet-cooling conditions. These conformers include one dispersion-stabilized folded conformer and three extended conformers with little interaction between termini. Conformer-specific ionization followed by photodissociation via visible radiation results in photofragmentation ratios that differ according to the type of neutral conformer from which the ion was formed. The folded structure of FGG yields a fragment-to-parent ion ratio of 1.4; the extended structures yield fragment-to-parent ion ratios around 0.3. The reverse peptide sequence, Glycyl-glycyl-phenylalanine (GGF), which has been found to adopt one folded and one extended conformer under the experimental conditions, acts similarly to FGG in that its folded structure exhibits a greater fragmentation ratio. The folded conformer of GGF fragments with a fragment-to-parent ratio of 3, and the extended conformer fragments with a 0.5 ratio. These results suggest that these peptides do not have time to photoisomerize under the experimental conditions, as the extent of fragmentation depends on the starting neutral structure. Photofragmentation in this experiment is controlled by the distribution of charge in the peptide - positive charge on the phenyl chromophore shifts its absorption spectrum to the visible range and thus allows absorption of sufficient energy for dissociation via visible radiation of the molecule. The possible mechanism by which secondary structure influences charge flow in these peptides was explored using quantum chemical calculations. It is proposed that, based on calculated neutral-to-cation geometry changes and charge distributions, differences in charge delocalization propensities among conformer types may cause the differences in charge flow.
