</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Most cognitive scientists assume that our core cognitive abilities evolved through natural selection. However, we lack the ability to assess causality concerning the natural selection processes that
shaped human cognition. As such, I advocate a comparative approach to understand the potential natural selection of cognition. In this talk, I consider metacognition, the experience and knowledge of one’s own cognitive system. I compare the methods used
in humans and non-human primates with respect to both the cognitive mechanisms underlying metacognition and the accuracy of metacognition at predicting performance on an object-level task. I advocate for an approach to metacognition that makes hypotheses
based on natural ecology and then applies those hypotheses to a wide range of species. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
