Metacognition: An Important Skill for Modern Times | Brendan Conway-Smith | TEDxCarletonUniversity 

Meta: in a large scale Cognative: thinking Metacognative: thinking of think/ thinking of learning.

As a former ABA / BCBA I consider applying the skills of that line of work, but applying it to my own feelings as I experience them and then pose interventions, healthier coping mechanisms, and choice to myself. Basically in my head, there’s “me” that is the me that is alive and experiencing life and emotions that come with it and then there is the me that plays therapist and, to those emotions, goes “hey I’m sorry you feel that way, take a moment to consider which coping mechanisms you want to use to get through it.” It’s important to learn how to “think your way through your feelings” without letting those emotions hurt others. People are very bad these days with being emotionally irresponsible.

The way you control your speech speed and tone is quite amazing. I bet that took some practice, it looks beneficial with helping seem more controlled and stable, probably creates that effect in your mind as well, parallel to say playing ball in a new pair of shoes or the wife having her makeup and outfit perfectly how she wants. Some feeling of that effect.

Very kind message and greatly structured delivery! The tone is just right!

Excellent video, very insightful, clear and concise. Your voice is extremely soothing as well. I played this before bed. The line about doctors prescribing mercury to pregnant woman made me cackle. I would like to become an expert in meta-cognition as well. Thank you for sharing Brendan.

Good speech. This video talks about what is metacognition, why it's important and impact it has on our life. It would be better if shows how to practice it though. Seems metacognition is still primarily confined in academic circle, yet to have widespread cognition among the public. There's sparse resource and guides you can find on the Internet, except academic papers.

underrated talk, i have ocd/adhd and this is what i was taught to do. It's basically proactive meditation- use mantras! mine is "pay attention, be present"

I got better clarity on the topic. Thank you very much

I'm always thinking about why, how, and when to say my thought during a conversation. And, after someone else has shared their thoughts, I'll often ask from where those thoughts derived. It just occurred to me that since Nov. 2020, I've started seriously fine tuning my metacognition abilities. At first I thought my brain was simply crazy. And now I understand what I, and not it, was trying to do. And now more things around me make sense. Nice to be in a lit room. Double entendre included, free of charge. 😁😁

Explain the difference between meditation and metacognition

So underrated!!!

Highly pertinent topic! Especially in this distraction filled world both online and real life. Loved this talk! I’m training as a Psychotherapist are there any good papers or resources on this issue of meta cognition you would recommend! Thanks!

I sped the video up to 1.5X speed and it was still barely bearable... nine and a half minutes later (6.3 minutes in my case) I still didn't learn anything new. I wonder if he has any other content out there going more in depth?

This ted talk is great 🤍

Such a good tedtalk and no comment?

Interesting but how can you pay attention to your self with thoughts and compulsiveness like in OCD?

Thank you

Big issue with any kind of training. Some people can stay in training, while others cannot. The focus can’t be only on the individual level, since not all individuals are naturally capable of staying in training.

I am watching this trapped in a dark room

so when does he do anything but advertise his book? I came here to find out how to do metacognition. I already know about it

Buddhist

Hmm this is one of those videos that says a lot of words but doesn't actually tell you anything. Unfortunate.

Said a whole lotta nothing. Repeated so much bs for no reason. Needs to work on his speaking and teaching skills.
