  1. 6. perceptually distinct basic unit of spoken language including a, k , and th in the English language
  2. 7. Strategy for problem solving that will always produce a solution to a problem but may be inefficient. An example of this is exhaustive search in which you try out all possible answers using a specified system to answer this crossword puzzle.
  3. 8. Observing and analyzing your own feelings and sensations. The core of Wilhelm Wundt’s approach to cognitive psychology.
  4. 11. Type of memory that involves conscious recollection of semantic and episodic memory. One of the two main types of long-term memory.
  5. 13. Type of psychology and theory that states that people have an innate tendency to organize things that they sense such as seeing patterns instead of random arrangements
  6. 14. How people use previous knowledge and their senses to gather and interpret sensory information.
  7. 16. People’s awareness of the outside world and about their own perceptions, memories, feelings, and thoughts. Associated with controlled focused attention.
  8. 20. __________ stimulus is actual object being sensed out in the environment. An example being the laptop on the table in front of you.
  9. 21. Concentration of mental effort on sensory or mental events. Also known as allocating limited mental processing resources.
  10. 22. ________ reasoning is reasoning that starts from more specific facts and moves to a general conclusion. This type of reasoning relies on heuristics.
  11. 26. Theory for organizing a category based on the best fitting or most typical example of that category. Examples in the category share at least one trait with another example in the category.
  12. 28. _______ reasoning is reasoning in which a conclusion is inferred based on some premise. Reasoning starts from more general information and moves to a more specific conclusion. Accuracy may be affected by belief-bias effect as well as negative info.
  13. 29. ________ evidence is a type of scientific evidence obtained through careful observation and experimentation
  14. 30. ___________ hypothesis states that a student will learn best when taught in a method that matches their learning style (visual, kinesthetic, auditory,etc.). This hypothesis has been contradicted in multiple well-designed studies.
Down
  1. 1. ________ route is one of the two routes in the dual-route model of reading, this route emphasizes that readers translate a printed word into sound instead of looking it up in their lexicon. For example, the imaginary word, biftoe, would be sounded out into parts of bif-toe and then read rather than recalling it from memory of words (lexicon).
  2. 2. Theory for organizing a category that argues that people compare a new stimuli to all other examples of the category stored in their memory to determine whether it fits the category. An example would be to compare a bulldog to all other types of dogs you know to determine if it fits in the dog category.
  3. 3. ________ coding is the type of mental imagery in which the stimuli is mentally represented in an conceptual manner instead of a mental representation of its exact physical appearance. An example of this would be a mental map or thinking of a flower you saw as “a tulip with three leaves”.
  4. 4. __________ interference is when interference from later memories cause loss of info from short-term memory
  5. 5. __________ effect is when the same letter is pronounced differently depending on its surrounding letters. The ‘B’ in “book” and “bee” are pronounced differently due to this effect.
  6. 9. __________ coding is the type of mental imagery in which the stimuli or physical object is mental represented through a mental image that is exactly the same as or extremely similar to the physical object.
  7. 10. Term that describes the acquisition, storage, transformation, and use of knowledge. Also described as mental activity.
  8. 12. Knowledge, control, and monitoring of your own memory. The tip of the tongue phenomenon as well as feeling of knowing are examples connected to this.
  9. 15. __________ memory is a multi-component system and active process that temporarily holds and manipulates information while people perform a cognitive task.
  10. 17. __________ attention is the process of focusing on a object or event when there are several occurring simultaneously and tuning out other unimportant details.
  11. 18. Problem _________ are problems that have the same underlying structures but different surface features (superficial content).
  12. 19. Type of memory in which sensations persist briefly, .5 to 3 seconds. Includes both iconic and echoic memory as parts.
  13. 23. _________ interference is when interference from earlier memories causes loss of information from short-term memory
  14. 24. ___________ stimulus is the image/information registered in your sensory receptors of an object. An example being the image that cellphone creates on your retina.
  15. 25. Term for processing info and representing it in memory. Also the process through which short-term memory may be transferred to long-term memory.
  16. 27. _________ memory is a person’s organized knowledge about the world and factual information. Knowledge of the capital of the United States would be this type of memory.
