>These cognitive functions can be categorized into a two-order hierarchy based on the levels of cognitive processes. Second-order cognition including metacognition and mentalizing monitors and regulates first-order cognitive processes. This way of modeling Cognitive functions in two distinct hierarchical ways, is it the same theory underlying the idea of "System 1 & System 2" presented in "Think fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman? How accepted/supported by empirical evidence is this model
