More work on lack of awareness and insight in healthy people and psychiatric patients will assist model building.

We comment on the work of Mograbi and Morris and their newly developed Cognitive Awareness Model in terms of metacognition and awareness of disability in health aging, dementia, and psychosis. It is suggested that further research comparing implicit awareness of disability and objective metacognitive processes would be useful for theory development, as well as further understanding cognitive models of insight in the clinical domain.
