Abstract

Nature and culture work together to shape who we are. We are embedded in culture and are profoundly influenced by what those around us say and do. The interface between minds occurs at the level of explicit metacognition, which is at the top of our brain's control hierarchy. But how do our brains do this?

Keywords: explicit metacognition; instructions; processing hierarchy; top-down control.
