Reflexion

Reflexion involves prompting a language model to reflect on its own responses, reasoning process, or understanding of a given task or prompt, fostering self-awareness and meta-cognition.

• Example: Asking a language model questions like “Why did you choose that response?” or “How confident are you in your answer?” to encourage self-reflection and awareness of its decision-making process.
