  1. 3. A simple thinking strategy that allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently.
  2. 4. MEMORY: A type of long-term memory for how to perform actions and skills.
  3. 6. The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus.
  4. 7. MEMORY: A newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on active processing.
  5. 9. CONSTANCY: Perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change.
  6. 10. A mental framework that organizes and interprets information.
  7. 11. BIAS: A cognitive bias where we overestimate how accurately we predicted an outcome after it is already known.
  8. 13. A chemical messenger that travels across a synapse, enabling neurons to communicate.
  9. 14. MEMORY: A momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli.
  10. 16. A neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage.
  11. 18. MEMORY: A momentary sensory memory for touch and other somatic sensations.
  12. 19. DISC: The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a blind spot with no photoreceptors.
  13. 25. THEORY: The theory of color vision that suggests we have three types of receptors sensitive to red, blue, and green.
  14. 27. CUES: Depth cues available to either eye alone, such as linear perspective and relative size.
  15. 29. PSYCHOLOGY: The principle that perception is based on the idea that the whole is different from the sum of its parts.
  16. 33. Mind & Sense
  17. 34. THRESHOLD: The smallest amount of a stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time.
  18. 35. SENSE: The sense of balance, controlled by the fluid-filled canals in the inner ear.
  19. 38. The structure in the inner ear that contains the auditory receptors.
  20. 39. CONTROL THEORY: The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological gate that blocks or allows pain signals.
  21. 40. The central focal point in the retina, containing the highest concentration of cones for detailed vision.
  22. 41. The process of grouping separate pieces of information into a single, manageable unit.
  23. 42. The processing of information into the memory system.
Down
  1. 1. The study of the relationship between physical stimuli and the psychological experience of them.
  2. 2. AMNESIA: The inability to form new memories after a brain injury or event.
  3. 5. The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.
  4. 8. INTERFERENCE: A type of interference where new learning disrupts the recall of old information.
  5. 12. Complete the crossword using the clues provided. All terms relate to psychology concepts in sensation, perception, attention, and memory.
  6. 15. The tendency to perceive objects as grouped together if they form a continuous pattern.
  7. 17. The activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory.
  8. 20. EFFECT: The effect where memory is better if the environment at encoding matches the environment at retrieval.
  9. 21. The failure to retrieve information that is available in memory, often due to interference.
  10. 22. CONSTANCY: The tendency to perceive objects as maintaining stable size despite changes in distance.
  11. 23. DOWN PROCESSING: A type of processing driven by expectations, beliefs, and prior knowledge.
  12. 24. The sense of hearing.
  13. 26. Student
  14. 28. A measure of memory that involves identifying information that has been previously encountered.
  15. 30. The retention of encoded information over time.

  17. 32. MEMORY: A clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event.
  18. 36. EFFECT: The effect where distributed study yields better long-term retention than massed study.
  19. 37. The process of getting information out of memory storage.
