The relationship between metacognition and mindreading was investigated by comparing the monitoring of one's own learning (Self) and another person's learning (Other). Previous studies indicated that in self-paced study judgments of learning (JOLs) for oneself are Inversely related to the amount of study time (ST) invested in each Item This suggested reliance oil the memorizing-effort heuristic that shorter ST is diagnostic of better recall In this Study although an inverse ST-JOL relationship was observed for Self, it was found for Other only when the Other condition followed the Self condition The results were interpreted in terms of the proposal that the processes underlying experience-based metacognitive judgments are largely unconscious However, participants can derive Insight from observing themselves as they monitor their own learning, and transfer that Insight to Other, thus exhibiting a shift from experience-based to theory-based judgments Although different processes mediate metacognition and mindreading, metacognition can inform mindreading.
