Metacognition is _____.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When approaching the concept of metacognition, we start by identifying what the term actually means and what each option implies.
Option 1: "thinking about thinking". This directly matches the definition of metacognition, which is cognition about one's own thinking processes, including planning, monitoring, and evaluating how we think and learn.
Option 2: "the ability to process multiple stimuli". This describes divided attention or multitasking, not metacognition. It concerns external processing capacity rather than thinking about one’s own thinking.
Option 3: "the process of recalling information". This is retrieval in memory theory, a distinct cognitive function from metacognition. It concerns bringing stored information to mind, not reflecting on thinking itself.
Option 4: "the process of putting information into long-term memory". This refers to encoding or consolidation processes in memory, which again are about storing information, not about thinking about thinking or monitoring your own cognitive states.
In sum, only the first option encapsulates the essence of metacognition by focusing on awareness and regulation of one’s own thought processes, whereas the others describe separate cognitive functions related to attention, memory retrieval, or encoding.
