Abstract: The discovery and theoretical development of metacognition has been an important step in cognitive research in recent decades. Metacognition performs several functions, identifying three major categories of it: Metamemory and metacomprehension, problem solving, critical thinking. Although this taxonomy cannot cover the many types of metacognition, it nevertheless reflects the extensive role of the process in important cognitive contexts.
