Metacognition is the awareness of how one thinks and processes their thoughts (example: thinking about thinking and knowing about knowing). During,the preschool years child are having big developments in cognitive responses.For example, a 3-year-old may lift up a lid to a box and learn that there were things inside the box. They start understanding concepts like positive or negative emotions and the concept of how others feel. Metamemory (knowing about knowing, or remembering) is really important during the preschool age because it is where they start learning from past experiences and that actions have consequences. Like when they pull on a dog’s ear and get bit. They now know not to pull on the dog’s ear next time.
