Linear vs. Non-Linear Thinking. Linear thinking is the process of thought following known step-by-step progression where a response to a step must be elicited before another step is taken.

The term metacognition literally means cognition about cognition, or more informally, thinking about thinking. Flavell defined metacognition as knowledge about cognition and control of cognition.

Flavell (1976, p. 232).
