- 8. The tendency to view an object in terms of its name or familiar usage
- 11. A thought process that attempts to generate multiple solutions to problems
- 14. Mental activity involved in understanding, processing, and communicating information; the use of mental processes to perceive and mentally represent the world, think, and engage in problem solving and decision making

- 25. A ratio obtained by dividing a child's score on an intelligence test by chronological age
- 26. Application of regular grammatical rules for forming inflections to irregular verbs and nouns
- 28. Paying attention to information, mentally representing it, reasoning about it, and making decisions about it
- 29. A specific example
- 31. The rules for forming formatting grammatical phrases and sentences in a language

Down
- 2. When we try to solve a problem by evaluating the difference between the current situation and the goal
- 3. The quality of language that permits one to communicate information about objects and events in another time and place
- 4. An algorithm for solving problems in which each possible solution is tested according to a particular set of rules
- 5. A decision-making heuristic in which a presumption or first estimate serves as a cognitive anchor. As we receive additional information, we make adjustments but tend to remain in the proximity of the anchor
- 6. The capacity to combine words into original sentences
- 7. The view that language structures the way we view the world
- 8. A statistical technique that allows researchers to determine the relationships among large number of items, such as test items
- 9. The basic abilities that make up intelligence
- 10. Internal image or visual representation that is used in thinking and momery
- 12. The sudden recoganization of perceptions, allowing the sudden solution of a problem
- 13. The influence of wording, or the context in which information is presented, on decision making
- 17. Gardner’s view that there are several intelligences, not just one
- 18. Neural "prewiring" that facilitates the child's learning of grammar
- 20. A thought process that narrows in on the single best solution to a problem
- 21. A process that sometimes occurs when we stand back from a frustrating problem while the solution "suddenly" appears
- 22. Sternberg’s Theory that intelligence has three prongs, consisting of analytical, creative, and practical intelligence
- 23. The concept of a category of objects or events that serves as a good example of the category
- 24. Assistant see of a method of measuring, as, for example, shown by obtaining similar scores on different testing occasionsCall Annette Rigdon.
- 27. A decision-making heuristic in which our estimates of frequency or probability of events are based on how easy it is to find examples
- 30. The View that language learning involves an interaction between environmental factors and an unborn tendency to acquire language
- 33. The mental capacity from the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, etc.
- 34. The extent to which a method of measurement measures what it is supposed to measure, as, for example shown by the extent to which it is related to an external standard.
- 35. A mental category that is used to class together objects, relations, events, abstractions, ideas, or qualities that have common properties
- 36. Rules of thumb that helps us simplify and solve problems
- 38. a systematic procedure for solving a problem that works invariably when it is correctly applied
- 39. The degree to which the variations in a trait from one person to another can be attributed to, or explained by, genetic factors
