What does the term metacognition refer to?

  1. "Thinking about thinking"

  2. Evaluating someone else's thinking

  3. Memorizing cognitive tasks

  4. Performing cognitive tasks without reflection

The correct answer is: "Thinking about thinking"

Metacognition refers to the process of "thinking about thinking." It involves the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes, including planning, monitoring, and evaluating how we perceive, understand, and remember information. This self-regulation of cognition allows individuals to reflect on their own thinking strategies and make adjustments as needed, leading to more effective learning and problem-solving. The other options do not accurately define metacognition; they either focus on external evaluation, mere memorization, or the absence of reflection on cognitive tasks.
