Distinguishing Computational Self-Modeling from Genuine Metacognitive Awareness

Current cognitive theories struggle to empirically differentiate between sophisticated self-referential computation and genuine metacognitive awareness. There is a need to identify behavioral, neural, or computational signatures that can distinguish between these two states. This challenge is crucial for understanding higher-order cognition and developing more accurate cognitive models.
