Does metacognition - the capacity to self-evaluate one's cognitive performance - derive from a mindreading capacity, or does it rely on informational processes? Joëlle Proust draws on psychology and neuroscience to defend the second claim. She argues that metacognition need not involve metarepresentations and is essentially related to mental agency.
