Metacognition is thinking about thinking. There is considerable interest in
developing animal models of metacognition to provide insight about the evolution
of mind and a basis for investigating neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive
impairments in people. Formal modeling of low-level (i.e., alternative)
mechanisms has recently demonstrated that prevailing standards for documenting
metacognition are inadequate. Indeed, low-level mechanisms are sufficient to
explain data from existing methods. Consequently, an assessment of what is 'lost'
(in terms of existing methods and data) necessitates the development of new,
innovative methods for metacognition. Development of new methods may prompt the
establishment of new standards for documenting metacognition.
