In contrast to a substantial body of research on the neural basis of cognitive performance in several academic domains, less is known about how the brain generates metacognitive (MC) awareness of such performance. The existing work on the neurobiological underpinnings of metacognition has almost exclusively been done in adults and has largely focused on lower level cognitive processing domains, such as perceptual decision‐making. Extending this body of evidence, we investigated MC monitoring by asking children to solve arithmetic problems, an educationally relevant higher‐order process, while providing concurrent MC reports during fMRI acquisition. Results are reported on 50 primary school children aged 9–10 years old. The current study is the first to demonstrate that brain activity during MC monitoring, relative to the control task, increased in the left inferior frontal gyrus in children. This brain activity further correlated with children's arithmetic development over a 3‐year time period. These data are in line with the frequently suggested, yet never empirically tested, hypothesis that activity in the prefrontal cortex during arithmetic is related to the higher‐order process of MC monitoring.

发育中大脑算术过程中元认知监测的神经基础。

与几个学术领域中关于认知表现的神经基础的大量研究相比,人们对大脑如何产生这种表现的元认知 (MC) 意识知之甚少。关于元认知神经生物学基础的现有工作几乎完全是在成年人身上完成的,并且主要集中在较低级别的认知处理领域,例如知觉决策。扩展这些证据,我们通过要求儿童解决算术问题(一个与教育相关的高阶过程)来调查 MC 监测,同时在 fMRI 采集期间提供并发 MC 报告。报告了 50 名 9-10 岁小学生的结果。当前的研究首次证明了 MC 监测期间的大脑活动,相对于控制任务,儿童左侧额下回增高。这种大脑活动进一步与儿童在 3 年内的算术发展相关。这些数据与经常提出但从未经过实证检验的假设一致,即算术期间前额叶皮层的活动与 MC 监测的高阶过程有关。
