“…Finally, although self‐regulation is deliberate and effortful (i.e., volitional) by definition (Flavell, ; Pintrich, ; Whitebread & Pino‐Pasternak, ), not all metacognitive monitoring and control is necessarily productive for goal achievement. For example, accurate and inaccurate monitoring judgments have recently been identified as two separate factors in people's monitoring within different tasks (Gutierrez, Schraw, Kuch, & Richmond, ). Also, an increasing number of studies are showing how children (Bryce & Whitebread, ; Roebers, Krebs, & Roderer, ) and adults (DiFrancesca, Nietfeld, & Cao, ; Thiede, Anderson, & Therriault, ) can demonstrate different levels of accuracy and skillfulness in their use of metacognitive monitoring and control (see Veenman, for an analysis).…”
