Abstract
⺠Metacognition refers to the knowledge we have of our own cognitive processes. ⺠We investigated the development of metacognition between 11 and 41 years. ⺠Participants carried out a visual decision task and rated confidence in their decisions. ⺠While task performance was stable, metacognition improved between 11 and 17. ⺠Metacognition shows a prolonged developmental trajectory during adolescence.
