- 2. Type of monocular cue. Closer objects block farther objects.
- 4. disorder where individual cannot form mental images. Can not visualize imagery.
- 5. Auditory portion of the sensory memory. sensations last ~ .5-3 seconds
- 8. Study of mental processes which includes attention, perception, memory, and thinking. e.g Stimulus -> mental processes -> response
- 9. type of attention that involves focusing on 2 different things at once. Also considered as multitasking.
- 10. Acts as a temporary storehouse that consolidates info from phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and LTM. Part of the Working Memory
- 12. Face blindness. Inability to recognize faces of familiar people
- 13. step-by-step procedure one can use for problem solving. E.g exhaustive search
- 15. An antecedent of Cognitive Psychology. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
- 20. mental disorder where general facts about the world is lost. Caused by damage to anterior temporal lobes.
- 23. Farther the distance you have to travel, the longer it takes to estimate how long it will take. Longer to estimate travel time from DC to LA than DC to Baltimore
