Abstract: Metacognition, the ability to self‐regulate one's learning and performance, has been shown to improve student outcomes. Anatomy is recognized as one of the toughest courses in allied health curricula, and students could benefit from metacognitive activities. The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in metacognition of allied health students in an anatomy course and identify which groups need support with this skill. First‐year physician assistant (MPAS), physical therapy (DPT), and occupational the… Show more

“…Thus, although high-performing students showed overall milder overcon dence bias, this bias still increased as items became more challenging, but to a lesser extent than in low-performing students, suggesting a better ability to adjust their con dence judgments as task demands increase. These results con rm the hypotheses put forward and align with the so-called easy-hard effect (Juslin et al, 2000;Lichtenstein & Fischhoff, 1977), in addition to showing less bias in high-achieving students (Bunce et al, 2023;Cale, 2023;Morphew, 2021).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Like Karpicke et al 12 and Cao and Nietfeld 13 , we found that many students relied on ineffective learning strategies initially. Like Cale et al 23 , we also found that many students persisted in using these strategies at the end of the course. However, we were also able to confirm that "light touch" training improves metacognitive awareness as found in other studies.…”

“…This may suggest that metacognitive knowledge, including procedural knowledge, is easier to instill in learners than metacognitive regulation. Like Cale et al 38 ,. we also found that learners would spend their time more wisely in future courses.…”

“…Conversely, repeating students often committed to a particular study strategy until they received feedback in the form of their examination scores, and even then, the students opted to enhance the existing strategy rather than switching to something different. This "doubling down" on a familiar study strategy rather than exploring other potential strategies has been previously documented in allied health students (Cale et al, 2023). As stress and fatigue mounted, the allied health students preferred to rely on familiar but less effective strategies because they lacked the time to risk exploring new strategies.…”
