ABSTRACT
Background: There is only limited evidence supporting the claim that Metacognition is critical for intelligent behavior or for performance of psychometric test of intelligence. It is believed that Metacognition will play an increasing prominent role in theory and research on intellectual abilities and cognitive task performance. According to the mixed model, metacognition is related to intelligence to a certain extent, but it has a surplus value on top of intellectual ability for the predictors of learning. The objective of this study was to examine the significant relationship between the Verbal IQ and Metacognition among young adults. Methodology: The study was conducted on Young Adults, PG students of SDM College, Ujire in the district of Dakshin Kannada. Verbal index of WAIS-IV (David Wechsler) and Metacognition Inventory (Punit Govil) was administered on the participants. Data was analyzed by using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation. Results: Findings of the study showed no significant relationship between Verbal intelligence and Metacognition. The smaller sample size could be a factor in the same. Conclusion: Further larger studies in diverse samples are needed to extrapolate the findings of this study and reach any further correlations in this regard
