Until recently, demonstrations of metacognition in primates have been frequent and robust, while in rodents they have been few and equivocal. However, the past few years have seen a change in this trend with the introduction of novel methods to determine whether metacognitive responding is governed by internal or external sources of stimulus control in rats. Such studies suggest that like primates, rats can indeed use internal assessment of memory strengths to guide metacognitive responding. Strong behavioral paradigms suitable for rodents support the development of easily-accessible animal models for the neurobiology of metamemory and translational studies on diseases of memory. They also allow for a more complete comparative study of the evolution of metacognition, as the presence of this ability in rodents would suggest that metacognition evolved ~80 rather than ~25 million years ago.

Background: For learners underrepresented in medicine (UIM), a heightened sense of belonging may be critical to creating shared awareness of diversity and fostering an inclusive educational environment. Despite ongoing efforts from academic medical institutions to promote and retain diverse individuals, few studies have investigated the foundational role of pre-health professions education in shaping students' sense of belonging, and fewer still have leveraged the potential of arts- and humanities-based approaches in doing so. This study aimed to evaluate the perceived impact of race- and gender-diverse visual representations of health professionals on pre-health students' sense of belonging.

Due to the rapidly developing technological advancements, the overuse of the Internet has led to the emergence of problematic Internet use, which has become a part of our daily lives. This study aims to investigate the relationships between problematic Internet use, Behavioral Activation System (BAS), metacognition, online dissociative experiences, and insomnia. Participants were 341 Turkish adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years (Mean = 15.

Background: In recent years, the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) model has received widespread attention as a self-regulated learning (SRL) model in medical education. Yet, little research has been done on exploring the benefits of explicitly teaching this model to undergraduate medical students.
Methods: We taught this model in a required social science course to first-year medical students at the California University of Science and Medicine.

Metacognition includes the processes that learners use to plan, monitor, and assess their learning and is tied to academic performance and growth-oriented attitudes toward learning. Learning anatomy presents challenges to learners at all levels, and for many, necessitates a change in learning strategies and metacognitive awareness. We sought to examine whether structured metacognitive training situated in an undergraduate anatomy course could improve these skills.

- - The study investigated "Zoom dysmorphia," a discomfort students feel about their appearance during video calls, analyzing how self-efficacy and dysmorphic concern affect this issue during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - Conducted at Jahrom University in Iran with 179 participants responding to online questionnaires, the results revealed moderate levels of Zoom dysmorphia and self-efficacy, while dysmorphic concern was relatively low.
- - Key findings indicated a strong positive correlation between dysmorphic concern and Zoom dysmorphia, while higher self-efficacy was linked to lower levels of Zoom dysmorphia; demographic factors such as gender and field of study showed no significant impact.
