Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metacognitive knowledge involves understanding how to learn and how to monitor one's own learning. Children who lack this knowledge may struggle with academic tasks and may not perform as well on intelligence tests that require abstract thought. However, difficulties with mathematical concepts or being easily distracted are not necessarily indicative of a lack of metacognitive knowledge.
