Meta cognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking processes. It has three main components: developing a plan, monitoring the plan, and evaluating the plan. There are three types of meta cognitive knowledge - declarative knowledge about one's own abilities, procedural knowledge about how to perform tasks, and conditional knowledge about when to use different strategies. Meta cognitive regulation involves activities like planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's learning. Meta cognitive experiences are those related to ongoing cognitive processes and help form an individual's identity.
