Metacognition of arm movements


We wonder how much people know about the movements they make. For example, how accurately can we describe the fine details of an arm movement? And can we monitor all aspects of our movements equally? We use behavioural methods to quantify this metacognitive ability
We collaborate with Hermann Müller, Lisa Maurer, and Heiko Maurer for this project.


We found, for example, that not all tasks are the same: A single person might be better able to monitor some aspects of their movements better than others. Further, it seems like the ability to monitor the proximal, but not distal, aspects of our movements, is related to our ability to move well.
