Accuracy, Causes, and Consequences of Monitoring One's Own Learning and Memory

In a previous topical issue of Zeitschrift für Psychologie,we addressed new directions in metamemory research (Undorf & Halamish,2020), focusing on new methods(e.g., computational neuroimaging, Kelley et al.,2020),and emerging research questions (e.g., reactivity of metamemory judgments, Halamish & Undorf,2020;Tekin&Roediger,2020; role of fluency vs. beliefs in metamem-ory, Kuhlmann et al.,2020; Mendes et al.,2020). The collection of papers in this topical issue addresses a long-standing issue in metamemory research: the accuracy of metamemory monitoring, its causes, and its consequences.
