Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metamemory refers to both general knowledge about memory (e.g. understanding that rehearsal can aid in memory retention) and knowledge about one's own memory (e.g. recognizing when information has been successfully retained). Metacognitive knowledge (A) is a broader term that encompasses knowledge related to multiple cognitive processes, not just memory. Metacognitive activity (B) refers to the monitoring and control of one's own cognition, including memory, but does not specifically refer to knowledge about memory. Metacognitive storage (D) is not a recognized construct in the field of psychology.
