Compare and contrast metacognitive knowledge and metamemory
What will be an ideal response?
Metacognitive knowledge refers to a person's awareness of their own cognitive processes. It is sometimes referred to as "thinking about thinking.". Some areas where this might be salient include a person's consideration of their own perception, attention, intentions, knowledge, and thinking strategies.
Metamemory refers to one's awareness of their own memory strategies, including the ability to monitor how their memory strategies are working (i.e., the effectiveness of how their memory works). It is also described as an intuitive understanding of memory.
Both of these processes indicate a child's growing awareness of their own developing internal "self," and their ability to differentiate it from their external world. Their growing ability to monitor their own cognitive processes is another commonality between them.
