Epistemic Feelings and Metacognition

Researchers working on metacognition, problem solving, decision-making, metamemory and rationality have coined the term “epistemic feeling” to refer to a particular kind of experience that one undergoes when confronted with cognitive tasks. Examples include the feeling of knowing and of forgetting, the feeling of confidence or of uncertainty, the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, and others.

This workshop brings together researchers from philosophy, psychology and cognitive neuroscience trying to further understand these phenomena.
