The relationship between metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive regulation, depth of studying, and academic success was examined in university undergraduates. Further, age differences in these variables were compared between preadults (up to age 24) and adults (25 and older). Metacognitive regulation was found to be positively correlated with metacognitive knowledge, deep and strategic study habits, but no relationship was found between study habits or metacognition and GPA. Adults scored higher on all metacognitive knowledge subscales and the overall knowledge score, and all but the planning metacognitive regulation subscale. Explanations and application of findings are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
