Abstract

This article is  a literature  review on the relationship  between  Metacognition  and Theory of Mind (ToM). Metacognition refers to the superordinat concept consisting of at least two components, namely (1) knowledge, (2) monitoring (experience) and regulation (skills), and  often  refers  to  the  procedural metacognition, while ToM can be defined as knowledge about the existence and contents of the mind (eg beliefs, desires and intentions) as well as the ability to use the knowledge to make predictions and explanations of human action. Research on metacognition and ToM showed that the research data provided some evidence that  early  competence  of  ToM  can  be considered as the precursor of metamemori and the acquisition of representations of the concept is probably something crucial in  the development of children, which in turn enables them to think about their memory and others.
