<p style="text-align:justify">The field of studies in metacognition points to some limitations the way construct has traditionally been measured and shows a near absence performance-based tests. The Meta-Text is test recently created assess components cognition regulation: planning, monitoring, judgment. This study presents first evidence on structural validity Meta-Text, by analyzing its dimensionality reliability sample 655 Honduran university students. Different models were tested, via item confirmatory factor analysis. results indicated that specific factors planning monitoring do not hold empirically. bifactor model containing general regulation judgment-specific was evaluated as best (CFI = .992; NFI .963; TLI .991; RMSEA .021). this proved be acceptable (Ω .701 & .699). judgment items well loaded only factor, suggesting may actually another component metacognitive knowledge dimension but having little role regulation. show initial give rise information previously unidentified which conceptual implications for theorizing components.</p>
