Work Step by Step
Meta-reasoning involves thinking about one's own thinking process, such as reflecting on past decisions, recognizing patterns, and adjusting strategies accordingly.
a. He has been gone long so he must have gone far.
This is regular reasoning about the world, not reasoning about your own thinking. Not meta-reasoning.
b. Since I usually make the wrong decision and the last two decisions I made were correct, I will reverse my next decision.
This involves reflecting on your own past decision-making patterns to guide future choices. This is meta-reasoning.
c. I am getting tired so I am probably not thinking clearly.
Here you are assessing the quality of your own thinking. This is meta-reasoning.
d. I am getting tired so I think I will take a nap.
This is planning an action based on a state, but not reflecting on the quality or process of your thinking. Not meta-reasoning.
