; Metacognitive Landmarks
: '''The 'Feeling of Knowing' (FOK)''' → The specific "Sensation" in your brain when you "Know" the answer is there, even if you can't say it yet (The "Tip of the Tongue" state).
: '''The 'Kruger-Dunning' Study (1999)''' → The proof that "Low-ability people" lack the "Metacognitive skill" to realize they are performing poorly.
: '''Metacognitive Prompting''' → A teaching trick where a teacher "Stops" the class every 10 minutes to ask: "What was the most confusing thing in the last 10 minutes?", forcing the students to use their "Observer."
: '''Self-Explanation''' → The "Gold Standard" of metacognition: "Talking to yourself" out loud as you solve a problem ("First I do this because..., then I do that because...").
