| From clinical experience we observed that in cognitive therapy there is a process of metacognitive awareness, or decentering, that takes place. |
| Developing metacognitive skills has been found to be one of the most effective ways to help students improve their grades. |
| Acquiring and using metacognitive skills has emerged as a powerful idea for promoting a thinking skills curriculum. |
| Because of these findings we decided to design an assessment without possible interferences between the cognitive and metacognitive processes. |
| Memory and general problem solving skills also play a role in the effective use of metacognitive resources. |
| Finally, self-knowledge is a critically important component of metacognitive knowledge. |
