Abstract

Metacognition entails knowledge of one's own cognitive skills, perceived self-efficacy and locus of control when performing a task, and performance monitoring. Age-related changes in metacognition have been observed in metamemory, whereas their occurrence for hearing remained unknown. We tested 30 older and 30 younger adults with typical hearing, to assess if age reduces metacognition for hearing sentences in noise. Metacognitive monitoring for older and younger adults was overall comparable. In fact, the older group achieved better monitoring for words in the second part of the phrase. Additionally, only older adults showed a correlation between performance and perceived confidence. No age differentiation was found for locus of control, knowledge or self-efficacy. This suggests intact metacognitive skills for hearing in noise in older adults, alongside a somewhat paradoxical overconfidence in younger adults. These findings support exploiting metacognition for older adults dealing with noisy environments, since metacognition is central for implementing self-regulation strategies.

噪音中听觉的元认知:年轻人和老年人的比较。

元认知需要了解自己的认知技能、自我效能感和执行任务时的控制点，以及绩效监控。在元记忆中已经观察到与年龄相关的元认知变化，而在听力中发生的变化仍然未知。我们测试了30名老年人和30名听力正常的年轻人，以评估年龄是否会降低在噪音中听句子的元认知。老年人和年轻人的元认知监测总体上具有可比性。事实上，年龄较大的一组对短语第二部分的单词监测效果更好。此外，只有老年人表现出表现与感知自信之间的相关性。控制点、知识和自我效能无年龄差异。这表明老年人在噪音中听力的元认知技能完好无损，而年轻人则有点自相矛盾地过度自信。这些发现支持开发老年人处理嘈杂环境的元认知，因为元认知是实施自我调节策略的核心。

期刊介绍： The purposes of Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition are to (a) publish research on both the normal and dysfunctional aspects of cognitive development in adulthood and aging, and (b) promote the integration of theories, methods, and research findings between the fields of cognitive gerontology and neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of the journal is to publish original empirical research. Occasionally, theoretical or methodological papers, critical reviews of a content area, or theoretically relevant case studies will also be published.
