Right but that doesn't apply here. Meta almost means "higher-level" as you're using it, but emotional processing isn't a higher-level cognitive skill. It's just a different type of cognition.

Meta implies a hierarchy.

I see the problem here. It's too strong to say that being good in using your emotions (say, as an actor) is a form of level 1-cognitive grasp of a level-2 cognitive process.

"Non-epistemic" might be an alternative to "non-cognitive".

(but really, the term "cognitive" used in this context boils down to g-loading, so "non-kernel processing" is as apt as anything else — an improvement over "non-cognitive" at the very least.)
