John has a great post about Learn(ing) to understand your own intelligence. I believe the majority of people go through their whole lives not understanding the role of metacognition. Meditation for me, is the key to sharpening my metacognitive abilities.
There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition. This is the ability to retrieve knowledge from memory. When you are asked a question on a test and produce an answer, that’s a display of cognitive ability. The second type of cognition is metacognition; the ability to know whether or not you know.
(side point, MSWORD does not recognise metacognition as a word, wow)
