The answer is the second one: Cognitive control.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Metacognition: This refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes. It involves thinking about thinking, which is not directly related to capturing attention or reducing interfering thoughts.

  2. Cognitive control: This term involves the ability to regulate one's thoughts and actions, which includes capturing attention, obtaining cognitive flexibility, and reducing interfering thoughts. Therefore, it is the correct answer.

  3. Cognition: This is a broad term that encompasses all mental processes related to knowledge, including perception, memory, and reasoning. It does not specifically address the ability to capture attention or reduce interfering thoughts.

  4. Cognitive mastery: This term generally refers to achieving a high level of skill or proficiency in cognitive tasks. It does not specifically involve the processes of attention capture or cognitive flexibility.

In summary, cognitive control is the term that best fits the description provided in the question.
