_____ involves self-awareness and control of cognitive abilities, e.g., planning, reviewing and revising, etc.

  • A.Centration
  • B.Metacognition
  • C.Cognition
  • D.Accommodation

Answer: B

The answer is metacognition.

Metacognition is 'thinking about thinking': being aware of one's own cognitive processes and controlling them. It includes planning how to approach a task, monitoring one's understanding while working, and reviewing and revising one's strategies, exactly the examples in the stem.

Cognition is thinking itself, not awareness and control of it. Centration is the preoperational child's tendency to focus on one feature of a situation, and accommodation is Piaget's term for changing a schema to fit new information.
