Epistemic cognition, the philosophical core of metacognition, concerns people\u2019s knowledge about the justification and truth of beliefs. Multiple literatures in psychology and education address aspects of epistemic cognition. In the absence of a coherent conceptual framework, however, these literatures mostly fail to communicate with each other and often connect only loosely to genuine epistemology. This complicates any effort to achieve a systematic theoretical understanding of epistemic cognition and its development. Deanna Kuhn writes in her foreword, \""Moshman is not the first to take on this challenge, but he fulfills it elegantly and, I think, the most comprehensively and astutely.\""
