Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about metacognition.
Option 1: 'knowledge about the process of memory.' This describes a type of metacognitive knowledge specifically about memory, but metacognition as a broader concept is not limited to just knowledge about memory processes; it encompasses awareness and regulation of one’s own thinking in general, including planning, monitoring, and evaluating mental processes.
Option 2: 'the ability to think about one's own thoughts.' This statement captures the core definition of metacognition: thinking about and reflecting on one’s own cognitive processes. It includes awareness of what you know, what you don’t know, and how you approach tasks, which fits the concept precisely.
Option 3: 'the combination of the following cognitive skills: attention, memory, and planning.' While metacognition involves planning and monitoring thinking, simply listing attention, memory, and planning as a fixed combination describes cognitive skills rather than the meta-level reflection on those skills. This option conflates metacognition with basic cognitive processes themselves.
Option 4: 'a hypothesis that explains cognitive development during middle childhood.' This option describes a theoretical claim about cognitive development, not metacognition. Metacognition is about self-awareness of thinking, not about a developmental hypothesis.
Overall, the most accurate choice is the second option, as it directly defines metacognition as thinking about one’s own thoughts, whereas the other options mischaracterize or overly narrow the concept.
