- 21. The perceptual tendency to group together visual and auditory events that are near each other.
- 22. ___ thinking: Narrowing down multiple ideas to find the best solution.
- 24. The ability to produce novel and valuable ideas.
- 27. The activation of associations in memory to influence behavior or perception.
- 28. The perceptual tendency to group together elements that seem alike.
- 29. ___ thinking: Generating many possible solutions to a problem.
- 32. A binocular cue for perceiving depth by the extent to which the eyes converge inward when looking at an object.
- 34. The inclination to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, time, or effort has been made.
- 35. Incorporating new experiences into existing schemas.
- 37. Tendency to approach problems in a particular way, often one that has worked in the past.
- 39. A cue that allows determining the closeness of objects to an object of known size.
- 40. The perceptual tendency to mentally fill in gaps in a visual image to perceive objects as wholes.
- 41. The way information is presented, influencing decisions and judgments.

- 13. The tendency to think of objects only in terms of their typical uses.
- 14. Step-by-step procedures that guarantee a solution.
- 16. A mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another.
- 19. A concept or framework that organizes and interprets information.
- 20. An approach where perception starts with sensory input and works up to the brain's integration of this information.
