Across
  1. 4. Cognitive processing that emphasizes the importance of concepts, expectations, and memory in object recognition and other cognitive tasks.
  2. 6. Mental activity, including the acquisition, storage, transformation, and use of knowledge.
  3. 8. Locating information in memory storage and accessing that information.
  4. 11. Overlapping orthography and phonology.
  5. 15. One’s impressive cognitive abilities or consistently exceptional performance on representative tasks in a particular area.
  6. 16. The mental representation of geographical information, including a person’s surrounding environment.
  7. 18. Memory is better recalls if one is in the same mental state they were when they learned the material.
  8. 21. Fluency in two languages.
  9. 23. Information is stored in a language abstract representation.
  10. 25. Mental representations of a category.
  11. 26. Cognitive process that emphasizes stimulus characteristics in object recognition and other cognitive tasks. This information is passed up to higher more sophisticated levels of the cognitive system.
  12. 27. A set of objects that belong together.
  13. 28. Brief, immediate memory for the limited amount of material that a person is currently processing, also coordinates ongoing mental activities.
  14. 29. A language deficit characterized by hesitant, slow speech but with language comprehension intact.
Down
  1. 1. The initial acquisition of information. Processing and representation of information in memory.
  2. 2. Process of inventing something original and worthwhile
  3. 3. The large-capacity memory for experiences and information accumulated across one’s lifetime.
  4. 5. One message is presented in the left ear while another is presented to the right ear.
  5. 7. Mental images and representation match physical object.
  6. 9. The use of previous knowledge to gather and interpret stimuli.
  7. 10. The inability to look past the traditional uses of an object to see other, atypical, uses for it in problem solving
  8. 12. Difficulty learning or recalling new material because some previously learned material interferes with the formation of new memories.
  9. 13. Characterized by continuous uninterrupted speech but lack of language comprehension.
  10. 14. A cognitive disability in which people cannot recognize faces
  11. 17. Mental representation of stimuli when those stimuli are not physically present.
  12. 19. A simple, well structures series of events in a specified order, usually associated with a familiar activity.
  13. 20. Taking a test and quizzing oneself is a great way to boost long term memory and study for exams.
  14. 22. Generalized, well-integrated knowledge about a situation, event, or person. It allows people to what will happen in a new situation, and these prediction are usually correct.
  15. 24. The observation that people take longer to name an ink color that had been written with the wrong word (ex. the word green written in orange ink)
  16. 25. The failure to detect a change in an object or scene due to the overuse of top-down processing
