Metacognitive therapy does also activate the DMN (the "unfocus" circuit) as it involves self-reflection, understanding others, and mental time travel.
While a normal brain switches between the extrinsic network (which is used when people are focused on tasks outside themselves) and the intrinsic network, which involves self-reflection and emotion -- the networks rarely act together.
His research interests focus on social motivation and emotion, and on processes involving self-reflection and self-relevant thought.
Among medical students, emotional competence also involves self-monitoring and reflection; that is, life-long openness to critical self-appraisal, to learning in place of stereotyping, [ 135] and to promoting emotional growth [ 136].
This often involves deep self reflection, conversations with friends and family, and reviewing previous life-experiences to find patterns and lessons.
According to this theory, action learning involves self-regulatory motivational processes, knowledge and skills development, action-focused reflection and intrapersonal and interpersonal dialogues.
Mezirow (1991) theorized that the disorienting dilemma can lead to self-examination with accompanying feelings of shame or guilt, after which one may go through a series of stages involving self-knowledge acquisition, reflection, and exploration, and can end with a new perspective reintegrated into one's life.
Although vulnerability to a proper Dutch Book is a mark of an internal defect in the agent's beliefs, Briggs draws a distinction between Dutch Books that reveal what she terms incoherence, which she takes to include those against violators of the probability axioms and Conditionalization, and those against violators of Reflection, which involve self-doubt (Briggs 2009).
This course involves both self-reflection as well as outward awareness.
Maybe our reaction to hunger strikes should involve some self-reflection.
Although the neural systems involved in self-reflection are not as well understood as those underlying risk taking, there appears to be a network of brain regions associated with self-reflective processing.
