³⁶(Chin and Schooler, 2010; Schooler et al., 2011). As in earlier chapters, the words consciousness and awareness are here used synonymously. The distinction between metacognition and meta-awareness is not always clear and there is overlap on how these terms are used. The key difference for me is, however, that meta-cognition can happen even in an unconscious agent, while meta-awareness, by definition, requires consciousness.
