Across
  1. 4. units of language longer than a sentence, the gist is remembered rather than verbatim information
  2. 5. cognitive neuroscience technique to measure the brain’s electrical fluctuations when exposed to a stimulus
  3. 6. the process of re-reading preceding words in a sentence when they do not understand the material
  4. 9. type of amnesia where an individual cannot retrieve memories made prior to brain damage/onset of amnesia
  5. 11. processing that relies on prior knowledge and experiences to recognize an object
  6. 16. a memory strategy that makes remembering large pieces of information easier by breaking it down, why 410-992-0204 is easier to remember than 4109920204
  7. 18. level of categorization that varies with experience and context, most widely used
  8. 21. disorder where a person cannot recognize human faces
  9. 22. method that makes you think of random pairings between previously known words to remember a new one, the more absurd the pairing, the better
  10. 23. maturational state hypothesis states that this property in the brain solidifies as you get older
  11. 24. new stimuli must be different and unique of other memories
  12. 25. a word that has similar spelling and sounds in two languages
  13. 26. effect of how we change the pronunciation of sounds based on neighboring sounds
  14. 27. pronunciation of certain syllables within a word (perMIT v. PERmit), also my mental state the next three weeks
  15. 28. mental shortcuts used in cognitive maps; examples include 90°, symmetry, alignment and rotation
  16. 29. type of bias that explains why speech errors result in other real words, rather than nonwords
Down
  1. 1. type of memory that is brief and active, coordinates ongoing mental activities
  2. 2. mental representations of categories
  3. 3. type of heuristic used to identify the end result to a problem, then breaking the problem down into methods
  4. 5. having a larger knowledge and memory base in a certain topic, shows better memory in said topic
  5. 7. theory proposed by Wilhelm Wundt, analyzed consciousness as made up of elementary elements of the mind, or building blocks of consciousness
  6. 8. coding that is abstract in nature, not stored visually or spatially, and doesn’t physically look like the original object
  7. 10. theory proposed by William James, analyzed consciousness in terms of everyday experiences
  8. 12. condition of joined sensations, theory validated by the perceptual pop-out effect
  9. 13. type of listening where an individual is hearing and processing two different conversations at once
  10. 14. meaning of words and sentences
  11. 15. a result in individuals with damage to their visual cortex where an they claim not to see an object, but can accurately describe it
  12. 17. scientist that hypothesized language development and learning is innate
  13. 19. type of memory task that tests your memory without asking for direct recall of knowledge
  14. 20. type of dementia caused by shrinking of temporal lobes, sudden onset
