Dear Terry, Ken, Gloria, David, Gunnar

Thank you very much for your responses. I have been able to get hold
of all the important books mentioned by you all. Slowly going through
it.

If you don't mind I would like to ask one more thing.

The following thought came to me this morning.

When Newton SAW the apple falling, could we say it was an act of
cognition as well as metacognition?  It is surely a simultaneous act
in which apart from just seeing the fact something additional did
happen which led him to the understanding of gravity. He saw the apple
falling and he probably also saw that it is the nature of things to
fall to the ground.

So is metacognition an act of seeing the abstract or recognizing the
abstract? or could we say was a kind of inference happening though
metacognition? This inference is automatic and there has been
sufficient background research that would have happened.

There are definitely prior conditions that enabled this kind of
SEEING. Metacognition is not a reflection as there is a time gap
between the action and reflection and reflection is often deliberate.

And metacognition is also not insight. Correct?

So could we say metacognition happens to people who have involved in a
deep enquiry?

I was thinking of another example of how people who are deeply
interested in language/ grammar etc also could have this happening to
them. So they hear what is being said and also at the same time
cognize the abstract, depending upon what they have been enquiring up
on.

So could we say that one condition is deep interest and second is that
metacognition happens when a real experience is happening? That is a
concrete experience is when both cognition and metacognition happens?
