ABSTRACT

There is a remarkable gap in the academic literature when it comes to group navigation, and procedural metacognition in group navigation is an important but virtually unexplored topic. The present paper aims to fill this gap by providing an account of how metacognitive feelings evaluate and regulate group navigational processes. The paper reviews animal studies and ethnographic work to elucidate three exiting processes in human group navigation: many-wrongs, leadership and emergent sensing. This is followed by an analysis of the role of procedural metacognition in the navigational processes involved in each of these three processes. This analysis shows that procedural metacognition serves to regulate and evaluate group navigation in a flexible, process-specific way. When performance issues arise during group navigation, the emergence of negative affective states makes the navigational process conspicuous, prompting a modulation of said process.

摘要

在群体导航方面，学术文献存在显着差距，群体导航中的程序元认知是一个重要但几乎未探索的话题。本论文旨在通过描述元认知感受如何评估和调节群体导航过程来填补这一空白。本文回顾了动物研究和人种学工作，以阐明人类群体导航中的三个现有过程：多错、领导力和紧急感知。随后分析了程序元认知在这三个过程中每一个过程所涉及的导航过程中的作用。该分析表明，程序元认知有助于以灵活的、特定于过程的方式调节和评估群体导航。当组导航过程中出现性能问题时，
