Abstract

In the article a theoretical analysis of psychological literature was carried out in order to determine the concept of the illusion of knowledge as the distortion of the accuracy of metacognitive monitoring. The concepts of “illusion of knowledge”, “metacognitive monitoring” are analyzed; their role in the process of assimilation of information is also established. The main approaches to explaining the peculiarities of manifestation of the
illusion of knowledge are generalized and summarized. Self-understanding of the illusion of knowledge is presented.
