Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metacognition refers to the process of thinking about and monitoring one's own cognitive processes. It involves being aware of one's thoughts, knowledge, and strategies and how they are used to process new information or solve problems. Option A (cognition) refers to the general category of mental processes, whereas option C (bilateral cognition) is not a recognized term in psychology. Option D (processing) is too broad and does not specifically refer to the monitoring of one's own mental processes.
