Explanation:

Cognitive strategies are general domain processes for the control of the functioning of mental activities, including the techniques, skills and abilities that the person uses consciously or unconsciously to manage, control, improve and direct their efforts in cognitive aspects, such as processing, attention and execution, in learning. They are critical in the acquisition and use of specific information and interact closely with the content of learning. Cognitive strategies are self-management skills that the student (or person) acquires, presumably over a period of several years, to govern their own process of attending, learning, thinking and solving problems.
