Veenman, Marcel V. J.; Wilhelm, Pascal; Beishuizen, Jos J. – Learning and Instruction, 2004
The first objective of this study was to establish to what extent metacognitive skill development is associated with intelligence. As a second objective, the generality vs. domain-specificity of maturing metacognitive skills was investigated. Both issues have major implications for the training and transferability of metacognitive skills.…
