What are the differences between cognitive and metacognitive strategies?
Cognitive strategies involve specific techniques to enhance learning and memory, such as summarizing, organizing information, or using mnemonic devices. Metacognitive strategies involve monitoring and regulating cognitive processes, such as setting goals, planning tasks, evaluating progress, and adjusting learning strategies accordingly. In essence, cognitive strategies focus on the specific tasks at hand, while metacognitive strategies involve overseeing and controlling the cognitive processes themselves.
