Metacognition Expert Witnesses in Scotland

Metacognition refers to the ability to understand, monitor and regulate one's own thinking and learning processes. It includes recognising strengths and difficulties, selecting effective strategies, evaluating progress and adapting approaches to problem-solving. Metacognitive skills are important in education, cognitive development and rehabilitation, particularly for individuals with learning difficulties, acquired brain injuries or executive functioning impairments. Independent Metacognition Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on cognitive assessment, learning capacity, executive functioning, educational support, rehabilitation needs and the functional impact of cognitive difficulties in relevant legal proceedings.
