Abstract

This comment examines current neuropsychological literature in the field of metamemory. One notion emerging from this literature is that metamemory is mediated by the frontal lobes. We argue that this idea is the result of inadequate conceptual approaches to metamemory and that currently there is no evidence to support the cerebral localization of metamemory.
