Question 2
Which of the following students provides the best summary of the research on children's metamemory?
a. Arthur: Children understand some of the characteristics of memory, but they don't realize that you need to make a real effort in order to memorize something.
b. Maya: Children have very little awareness of any aspects of metacognition until they have reached school age.
c. Katarina: Children develop metacognitive abilities much earlier than psychologists had previously suspected; these skills are quite sophisticated by the time children reach school age.
