Metacognition (under Higher Level Cog)
Awareness of one’s own cog processes and ability to manipulate and control one’s own cognition. Important for effective learning, problem solving and efficient communication with others.
Executive Functions (under Higher Level Cog)
Use frontal lobes of brain; complex goal-oriented behavior like decision making, abstract thought, planning, mental flexibility.
