How To Teach Metacognition
- How metacognitive strategies separate into goals and actions (conscious and unconscious).

- Why retrieval strategies are a false grail and the work has to be done at the encoding stage.
- Whether putting a coffee cup in the fridge is a sign of dementia and why police line ups don’t work.
