Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metacognition refers to a person's ability to understand and control their own cognitive processes. This includes skills related to learning and remembering, such as selecting appropriate strategies, monitoring one's own understanding, and adjusting one's approach as needed. Therefore, the skills mentioned in the statement fall under the larger heading of metacognition. Choices B, C, and D are not accurate because metamemory refers specifically to memory-related skills, meta-analysis refers to a different type of cognitive process, and metamorphosis refers to a biological process of transformation.
