Discovering the Social Mind

Selected works of Christopher D. Frith

In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts themselves present career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions. Christopher D. Frith has an international reputation as an eminent scholar and pioneer in the fields of schizophrenia, consciousness, and social cognition. A specially written introduction gives an overview of his career and contextualises the selection in relation to changes in the field during this time. This collection reflects the various directions of Frith’s work, which has become increasingly philosophically oriented throughout his career, and enables the reader to trace major developments in these areas over the last forty years. Frith has had his work nominated for the Royal Society Science Book Award and, in 2009, was awarded the Fyssen Foundation Prize for his work on neuropsychology. He has also been awarded several prestigious prizes for his collaborative work with Uta Frith. This book is an essential read for those students and researchers engaged in the fields of social cognition, cognitive psychology and consciousness studies.

Although system 1 processes already contain some metacognitive
representations which system 2 metacognition can select to make available (
adirect access«39), a third type of work done by system 2 metacognition (W3) is
to construct or infer metacognitive representations from multiple sources of (
sometimes weak) metacognitive information (Box 14.1, Figure 14.2). In addition,
we can, as mentioned above, distinguish between synchronic and diachronic
supra-personal cognitive ...

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Metacognition

Metacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and psychologists, metacognition has recently become the target of research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychology and insights from psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive functions of the brain. Chapters cover the definition and measurement of metacognition in humans and non-human animals, the computational underpinnings of metacognitive judgments the cognitive neuroscience of self-monitoring ranging from confidence to error-monitoring and neuropsychiatric studies of disorders of metacognition. This book provides an invaluable overview of a rapidly emerging and important field within cognitive neuroscience.

Although CR performed numerically better, they found no statistically significant
difference between groups for the amount of unconscious processing at the
subjective threshold or for the correlation between confidence rating and
accuracy. They also examined a different measure closely related to confidence-
accuracy correlations, type 2 d', and found no difference here either. Interestingly,
however, they did observe a negative correlation between risk aversion and type
2 d' and ...
