Signature Work Project Overview

Metacognition refers to the ability to reflect on one’s cognition. It contributes to the process of “knowing what we know” when we reflect on our perception of a concept. Metaemotion is a relatively new area of research that looks at the relationship between emotions and cognition and how people reflect on the accuracy of their decisions. The current study includes a behavioral task of emotion recognition which tests the subjects’ accuracy in identifying happy, disgust, and fear facial expressions and their confidence levels upon making decisions.
