DMetacognition
Correct answer: (A) Schemas or mental schemata — Organized bodies of knowledge about objects and situations are schemas, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Organized bodies of knowledge about objects and situations are schemas, so that is the answer.
★A schema is a mental framework that organizes what we know about a thing or a situation.
★So our built-up, organized knowledge of particular objects and phenomena is stored as schemas.
★Memory is the general faculty of storing and recalling, not this organized structure itself.
★Cognition is the whole process of knowing and thinking, wider than a single schema.
★Metacognition is thinking about one's own thinking, so the organized knowledge structures are schemas.
