Metacognitive Knowledge - thinking about the way you think.

About the way you remember things, process information, and


make decisions. What we know about our ourselves and others
when it comes to cognition.

There are three types:

1. Declarative knowledge - knowledge about your own


capabilities.

2. Procedural knowledge - the knowledge of a task at hand. The


breadth of the task and how much of the task you can complete.

3. Strategy knowledge - the knowledge of using strategies and


remembering to use strategies.

By purposeful thinking about your cognitive processes, you can


begin to choose strategies that work for you and train yourself to
learn more effectively and display a higher level of cognitive
thinking.
