Qualitative synthesis across the 36 included articles. The review reports that "The different types of MR were well represented (from 58 to 75%)" across the corpus, supporting the transfer of Johnson's taxonomy to PT clinical reasoning.

"The results fitted with Johnson’s17 three types of metacognitive activity: Self-observation 18,21–26(i.e. recognising one’s own thoughts, emotions, or actions), Self-judgment"
