The preference of "correct terms" that no one understands (or uses) over simple phrasing is an Academic habit, which should be avoided (and actively condemned) when possible.

His target market isn't children. It's not too much to expect him to name the proper term in passing. Even a title of:

Meta-cognition: Thinking About Thinking

would have been appropriate. Certainly better than:

Thinking About Thinking (But Don't Think Too Much)

as seems to be implied by some.
