A cognitive strategy is a mental process or technique used to learn, solve problems, or process information effectively. It helps in thinking, remembering, and understanding concepts.

Examples of Cognitive Strategies:

  • Chunking – Breaking information into smaller parts to remember it easily.
  • Repetition – Repeating something multiple times to reinforce learning.
  • Visualization – Creating mental images to understand or recall information.
  • Self-questioning – Asking yourself questions to check understanding.
  • Mnemonics – Using memory aids like acronyms (e.g., GOAT for stating gretness, making rhymes for learning words).
