Fernandez-Duque, Baird, and Posner link metacognitive regulation to executive attention networks sourced in midfrontal areas.
Fernandez-Duque, D., Baird, J. A., & Posner, M. I. (2000). Consciousness and Cognition, 9(2), 288–307. DOI
Key findings
- Shared circuitry — Metacognitive monitoring and executive control recruit overlapping attentional networks.
- Midfrontal source — Conflict, error correction, and emotional regulation map to midfrontal control systems.
Application
Training the observer (meta-skill) trains the same stack as executive control. meta-skills.
