Critical thinking involves actively processing information, evaluating evidence, and applying logic and reasoning to make informed decisions. Metacognition refers to the process of thinking about one's own thinking, cognitive monitoring involves being aware of one's own cognitive processes, and control processes involve regulating one's own behavior and mental processes. However, none of these fully encompass the act of evaluating evidence and making informed decisions, which is the main focus of critical thinking.
