As its name suggests, the focus of the Learning & Metacognition Lab is studying human learning and metacognition. Much of the research in the lab focuses on the processes that underlie student learning (e.g., Why do diagrams improve learning from text?), as well as finding ways to improve learning. Concordantly, much of the metacognition research that occurs in the lab concerns metacognition about student learning (e.g., What information do students use when monitoring their own learning?).
