Hotspots: 1913 study of hungry cats, in order to escape the lockbox must pull a string. I found this interesting because the idea of being rewarded for their learning of how to handle the situation fueled their need to know it. The phrase "unobservable mental events" also appeals to me.
Questions: How do you objectively know when you are undergoing metacognition? Is it more natural for some than others? Do we understand parts of it better than other parts at first??
Opinions: I am interested in the way the online book sort of brings into a dynamic of different metaphorical (such as the artery/vein idea and the reference to children's literature) and practical viewpoints. I truly appreciate the fact that a book that is stressing a variety of venues in learning is sincerely illustrating clear, interesting examples of these ideas. It amuses me that here we are learning about learning and along the way we're being exposed to some of these new ideas. I am pretty shocked at how clever that is, ha ha ha.
