Metamemory - Deepstash

Metamemory

According to a study by González (1997) titled “Metamemory and learning of texts”, metamemory is defined as "The knowledge and control that a person has over the functioning of their memory".

Metamemory is the knowledge we have of our own memory. This also includes the knowledge of the different phases of memory, which are:

  • Codification
  • Storage
  • Retrieval

Metamemory doesn’t only include the knowledge of memory but also its control and mastery.
