Metacognition: “Metacognition is a general term encompassing the study of memory-monitoring and self-regulation, meta-reasoning, consciousness/awareness and autonoetic consciousness/self-awareness. In practice these capacities are used to regulate one’s own cognition, to maximize one’s potential to think, learn and to the evaluation of proper ethical/moral rules. It can also lead to a reduction in response time for a given situation as a result of heightened awareness, and potentially reduce the time to complete problems or tasks.” “In the domain of experimental psychology, an influential distinction in metacognition is between Monitoring—making judgments about the strength of one’s memories—and Control—using those judgments to guide behavior.”
