Cognition in Action

4. The smallest significant unit of sound in a given language.
5. This type of processing is driven by prior knowledge/experiences where the processed information influences perception and processing of new stimulus messages.
9. A mental image of a stimulus without external stimulation of sensory organs.
10. This type of search is performed fast, in parallel and primarily for targets defined by one feature (i.e. color, shape, movement, or orientation).
12. A mental concept that informs a person about what to expect from a variety of experiences and situations. They are often developed based on information provided by life experiences then stored into their memory.
13. The way we manipulate information in our brains.
14. How one thinks about their own thinking.
15. Melody of intonation, rhythm, and emphasis.
16. Difficulty of arranging thoughts in an ordered sequence of words.
17. Passive storage system for relevant information.
18. A visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies in a sound.
24. Visible movements of any part of your body which you use to communicate.
25. How information is lost from short term memory.
27. Concentration of mental effort on sensory or mental events.
29. Process of creating something original and worthwhile
30. A memory strategy that uses associations in order to improve memory recall.
31. Mental shortcut.

1. A mental representation of categories (i.e. things that "belong together").
2. An implicit memory effect in which exposure to one stimulus influences the response to another stimulus.
3. Disorder where people do not form mental images.
6. Awareness/perception of one's environment by that person (associated with controlled focus attention).
7. A mental representation of geographic environment/surroundings.
8. The way speech is produced where many phonemes are produced simultaneously.
11. Process of reasoning from one (or more) statements to a logical conclusion.
17. Refers to a portion of LTM that processes ideas and concepts that are not drawn from personal experience.
18. Disorder where people "join sensations" (i.e. see sounds, hear shapes, etc.).
19. An exhaustive search used to determine meaning of presented information/stimulus.
20. How our brains interpret sensory information.
21. Theory that behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning.
22. The process of encoding information into long term memory using repetition.
23. 3-D shapes that form visual objects (recognition by components theory).
26. The recognition of an object.
28. When a blind person can respond to visual stimuli that they do not consciously see
