Finally, it wouldn't be an action workshop without @PatrickHaggard, who is going to tell us what's metacognitive about voluntary action. #MetaAction

We're back, after lunch, with @sarahruthbeck on children's counterfactual thinking and metacognition. Sarah's showing some of the more or less fun tasks for kids. #MetaAction

Great start of the second day of @MetaActionUCL with @PatrickHaggard introducing @NuraSidarus's talk on metacognition of action.

We forgot to mention, we'll be tagging our tweets #MetaAction for the rest of the workshop. Please get involved!

Next, @GethinHughes1 on implicit and explicit sense of agency.

Subliminal primes affect action selection fluency. Fluency affects sense of agency.

This morning, we're about to kick off with @NuraSidarus, on the sense of agency! Expect many more tweets today, as we better calibrate our tweeting thumbs.

[...] Finally, @CarenFrosch demonstrated how kids use temporal and statistical cues, as well as interventions, to learn about casual structures.

[Workshop: Metacognition for Action, Cause & Effect @MetaActionUCL]

We had a great first day of talks. @smfleming discussed how the brain calculates metacognitive confidence, and the importance of monitoring our own actions in doing this. Louise Goupil showed how infants seek help when uncertain, and how vocal prosody can signal confidence. [...]
