Cognitive self-regulation refers to the ability of an individual to control their own thoughts, attention, and behavior in order to achieve a desired goal. Choosing to use flashcards as a memorization technique is an example of cognitive self-regulation, as the individual is making a conscious decision to use a specific strategy to achieve a goal (memorizing vocabulary terms). The other options do not necessarily involve conscious regulation of one's own cognitive processes.
