Fiza analyzes that she has more problems in learning topic X than in learning topic Z because she is interested in topic Z and is paying focused attention to it. Which of the following construct describes Fiza's abilities to analyze her thinking ?

  • A.Cognitive conflict
  • B.Metacognition
  • C.Memory
  • D.Cognition

Answer: B

Fiza's ability to analyse her own thinking is metacognition.

Metacognition is thinking about one's own thinking: knowing how one learns, and monitoring and regulating it. Fiza notices that interest and attention make one topic easier than another, which is exactly this kind of self-awareness.

Cognitive conflict is the discomfort when new information clashes with existing ideas, memory is the storage and retrieval of information, and cognition is thinking in general, not reflection on it.
