Hindsight Bias and Metacognition in Children and Young Adults Study

The work is hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Lifespan Cognition Lab. Hindsight bias is the tendency for individuals to claim that past events were more predictable than they were, while metacognition is awareness of one's own thoughts.

  • We are inviting your children, ages 7.5 years to 9.5 years of age to participate in the study.

  • The study is expected to take around 45 minutes to complete.

  • We will be offering a $10.00 gift card to participants for compensation
