Meta-Reasoning is a relatively new research domain under the metacognitive umbrella, which focuses on the metacognitive processes which accompany reasoning and problem solving. The Meta-reasoning framework provides a basis for developing concrete research questions in several domains, which will be addressed in this symposium. Specifically, meta-reasoning methods advance the understanding of underlying processing during reasoning, such as monitoring processes during uncertainty (Thompson) and uncertainty monitoring of conflict detection (Handley & Kosourikhina). In addition, these methods also extend our understanding of metacognitive monitoring in applied domains, including medical diagnosis (Ackerman), anticipatory thinking in career decision-making (Ginevra, Rinaldi & Santilli) and examining metacognitive regulation in ADHD (Torres, Ackerman & Toplak).
