>> "Thinking aloud" ... is a specific metacognitive skill
Is there evidence for this claim? I'm inclined to believe it but that's experiential. It's also something I've never had to work to acquire, but that could be a cultural thing (my family and friends talk a lot about thinking) or a personal history thing (I have a minor learning disability, and it has forced me to develop strong, conscious meta-cognition).
It's not a given, tho, that being able to talk about thinking is distinct from being able to think and being able to talk.
