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. For example, I am engaging in metacognition if I notice that I am having more trouble learning A than B; [or] if it strikes me that I should double check C before accepting it as fact. J. H. Flavell (1976, p. 232).
Conceptual thinking is an ability to see patterns by making connections to different ideas in a broad context. As a result new perspectives are brought about when conceptual thinking is invoked. In developing conceptual thinking the person will experience ideas that come to them in new ways. Too often ideas arrive in a linear fashion that can limit new directions. So learning techniques using conceptual thinking can add value to your creative work and mental processes.
