My middle school World History teacher taught us the word "metacognition" and I was immediately intrigued. Thinking about thinking--I loved it. Junior year at UW I got to take a class basically surrounding this concept: cognitive psychology looks at how humans think and integrates neurology and behavior. This class was super interesting and helped me shape my own thought-life simply by recognizing the mechanisms behind it. Below is the study guide I typed up for our final, just to document some of the questions we explored.
