Brain training apps promise to boost IQ. Metacognition training delivers effect sizes they can't match. Here's what separates them — and why the difference matters for real-world performance.
Self-awareness isn't just philosophical — it has a neuroscience. The brain regions involved in metacognition overlap with those involved in social cognition, and both are trainable.
The Brier Score measures how accurate your probability forecasts are. It's the key metric behind MindFrame's calibration training — and once you understand it, you'll wonder how you thought without it.
Fluid intelligence peaks in your late twenties. But metacognitive skill — the ability to monitor and regulate your own thinking — follows a different trajectory. Here's what the research says about cognitive development over a lifetime.
High intelligence correlates with faster pattern recognition — but also with more sophisticated rationalisation of incorrect beliefs. Metacognition is the countermeasure.
The popular framing — that incompetent people are overconfident — misrepresents the original research. Here's what the data actually shows, and why the nuance matters.
Books on decision-making don't improve decisions. Deliberate practice with feedback does. Here's what that looks like — and why the feedback loop is everything.
Expressing uncertainty as a range rather than a point estimate makes you more accurate, more trusted, and more useful. It's also a trainable habit.
There are 200+ named cognitive biases — but most of them are edge cases. These 5 are the ones consistently linked to consequential errors in professional and personal decisions.
MindFrame uses Claude to read your reasoning text and score it on a 0–10 scale, independent of whether your answer was correct. Here's how we built it and why it matters.
