Key Points

Statement I: Metacognition is the understanding about one's own use of language.

This statement is incorrect.
Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own cognitive processes, which includes thinking, learning, and problem-solving.
It involves reflecting on and monitoring one's thoughts, knowledge, and strategies. It is not specifically related to the understanding of one's own use of language.

Statement II: Mnemonics is the knowledge about our own thinking processes.

This statement is also incorrect.
Mnemonics refers to techniques or strategies used to improve memory and enhance the retention and recall of information.
It involves using memory aids, such as acronyms, visual imagery, or associations, to facilitate the encoding and retrieval of information.
It does not pertain to the knowledge about our own thinking processes in general.

Therefore, both statements are incorrect, and the most appropriate answer is that both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
