Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At age 4, children begin to develop a sense of metacognition, which includes understanding their own mental processes such as memory. Annette may understand that she may have false beliefs, such as thinking she remembers something correctly when in fact she does not. However, she may not be withdrawn or have beliefs about her own abilities compared to others at this young age.
