Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metacognition refers to the ability to reflect on one's own thinking processes and adjust them accordingly. Oscar's difficulty in slowing down when reading a difficult passage suggests that he may not be aware that his current reading speed is hindering his comprehension. This inability to monitor one's own thinking and adjust accordingly is an example of difficulty in metacognition. Choices A, B, and C involve specific skills or areas of knowledge rather than metacognitive skills.
