Across
- A collection of opinions, thoughts and concepts that individual makes about what they encounter, such as a person, place or event.
- We use both visual information and verbal descriptions of an object, event or location to “draw out” the object, event or location in our heads.
- The mindset in which you constantly reform your thoughts and education as you learn new, challenging and controversial information.
- A heuristic that states that, when presented with options, you always choose the option that would be most direct in reaching your goal.
- We are better able to recall the items that come first in a list. One explanation of this is due to the fact that the words do not have any competition when they are memorized first.
- Students that study for an exam can become overconfident in their comprehension and knowledge of the material.
- Superficial characteristics that two stories share. These characteristics do not help the two stories obtain relevance to each other in any significant way. For example, both stories may have a character that likes to put on cologne; however, this fact does not indicate any similarity between the stories on its own.
- The amount of mental energy we put in to focus on a task or conversation. Some can divide this among different tasks, while others must concentrate to channel this into one task to work efficiently.
- The smallest unit of sound in a language.
- The differences in sound between instruments. One note played on a guitar will sound differently on a piano, saxophone or violin.
- Any physical object that can aid one to remember something they could potentially forget (ex. Shopping lists, sticky notes, reminder notifications on your phone).
- A type of blindness where, when the speaker in a conversation is suddenly and subtly switched with a different speaker, we would fail to notice that we are talking to a completely different person.
- When the color of the word matches the meaning of the word (ex. The word ORANGE written in the color orange), people are more likely to be quicker at naming the color of the ink than when they are not (ex. The word ORANGE written in the color yellow).
- We tend to remember the items that come last in a long list more accurately than other items included on the list.
Down
- The smallest unit of meaning in a language.
- The context or implications of the conversation; the deeper meaning of the sentence, past the grammatical structure of the sentence.
- A type of blindness where we fail to notice a gorilla that walks in the middle of a basketball game, since we are too preoccupied with a different task happening simultaneously.
- Problems you know exactly how to solve, such as an untied shoelace untucked shirt.
- The memory of remembering to do something in the future.
- The idea that several different cognitive signals can be processed at the same time, instead of one by one.
- The mindset in which you believe that you have the optimal level of education and/or experience needed and that no further education or experience is needed.
- A sequence of events that typically happen in a specific location, date or event (ex. We know what will happen if we walk into a sanctuary inside a church, mosque or any other religious gathering).
- People are more likely to remember a list of words that sound different (Q,B,M,P,F,L), rather than those that sound similar (D,V,G,P,T,E).
- The actual, physical object that exists in the real world that we see with our eyes to process cognitively.
- You have perfect memory of what happened after the amnesia, but not as great of a memory of what happened before.
- You can more easily remember past events that evoked similar emotions with your current mood (ex. When you’re happy, it’s easier to think about positive things, and negative things when you’re not).
- Factual information about the world you remember and uniquely organized.
- Anything longer than a sentence, such as a paragraph.
- The grammatical structure of a sentence.
- Differences in sound between notes, such as an A-flat and an E-sharp. Critics of singers and vocalists often mention that a performer’s ______ was off, meaning it was too sharp or flat.
