Being Meta-cognitive.

 J. H. Flavell first used the word "metacognition".^[5] He describes it in these words:

Metacognition refers to one’s knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes or anything related to them, e.g., the learning-relevant properties of information or data. For example, I am engaging in metacognition if I notice that I am having more trouble learning A than B; if it strikes me that I should double check C before accepting it as fact

—J. H. Flavell (1976, p. 232).
