Across
- 1. an effect where when reading the names of colors written in different colors than the name of the color (e.g. the word “Blue” written in the color green and the word “Green” written in red etc.) take longer to read than other words
- 6. “_____ Memories”, significant events in time that you remember where you were or what you're doing during this event e.g. “where were you during 9/11?”
- 7. a theory that we organize things into categories based on the most typical example of that category, most simplistic/ basic example
- 8. form of aphasia that affects the front of the brain, results in hesitant speech that uses isolated words and short phrases
- 11. only interested in observable behavior, stimulus → response
- 13. when you use the first letters to form a new sentence e.g. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally → Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
- 14. form of dyslexia where you cannot look up words from your lexicon, can read regular words and non words but perform poorly when reading irregular words e.g. yacht
- 18. form of aphasia that affects the back of the brain, results in difficulty understanding language as well as problem with language production, fluent speech but with a lot of errors as well as making up new words.
- 20. type of coding, conceptual, representation is language-like, not visual/ spatial
- 21. a term referring to the process of taking in information and putting it into a group to form a larger unit to help improve the amount of information you remember.
- 22. it is the physical object in the environment that you see
- 23. your knowledge and control of your cognitive processes, supervise the way you select and use your memory strategies, “thinking about thinking”
- 25. (1832 - 1920) believed in structuralism, looking at feelings and memories by using introspection
- 26. a form of explicit/ declarative memory, it is organized knowledge about the world, factual information
- 28. a theory where we decide whether something belongs in the category based on how closely it resembles all examples of the category
- 30. a route (direct) in the dual-route model that works based on the recognition of a word already known and pronounced correctly
- 31. form of attention in the Feature Integration Theory, involves conjugation search (serial search) e.g. looking for a red “T” amongst red and blue “L” and blue “T”
Down
- 2. “____ Principle”, also known as the positivity bias, where you tend to remember positive items more than negative items
- 3. a subset of recognition by components, within Theories of Object Recognition, a 3D shape that when put with other 3D shapes creates the object that we see in everyday life.
- 4. a method of problem solving that will always find the solution for the problem but the process may be inefficient
- 5. an example of a binocular cue, when the muscles behind your eye tell you how close or far an object is
- 9. the issues you encounter when trying to reach your goal state during problem solving
- 10. mental representation of geographic information, including the environment that surrounds us. We saw this with rats learning how to run a maze from A to B and then add shortcut, shows that the rat has an internal map
- 12. an example of a monocular cue, sometimes called interposition,when images overlap giving the perception that one is in front of the other.
- 15. type of coding, where the representation is analogous to physical object e.g. having a vivid picture in your head
- 16. basic human tendency to organize what we see in our everyday lives, whole is greater than the sum of its parts
- 17. it is the retinal image of an object, it is a 2D inverted image, far objects have smaller retinal images than close objects.
- 19. a form of explicit/ declarative memory, it is information and events that pertain to you
- 24. form of attention in the Feature Integration Theory, it involves feature search (parallel search) and pop-out effect e.g. looking for a “T” amongst “L”
- 27. an effect that visual information has on the influence of speech perception e.g. “ba” vs “ga”
- 29. “ The______ Effect”, concerned with serial position effect, more likely to remember something because you learnt/ heard it 30 seconds ago as opposed to something you learnt/ heard 30 minutes ago.
