Across
- 4. units of language longer than a sentence, the gist is remembered rather than verbatim information
- 5. cognitive neuroscience technique to measure the brain’s electrical fluctuations when exposed to a stimulus
- 6. the process of re-reading preceding words in a sentence when they do not understand the material
- 9. type of amnesia where an individual cannot retrieve memories made prior to brain damage/onset of amnesia
- 11. processing that relies on prior knowledge and experiences to recognize an object
- 16. a memory strategy that makes remembering large pieces of information easier by breaking it down, why 410-992-0204 is easier to remember than 4109920204
- 18. level of categorization that varies with experience and context, most widely used
- 21. disorder where a person cannot recognize human faces
- 22. method that makes you think of random pairings between previously known words to remember a new one, the more absurd the pairing, the better
- 23. maturational state hypothesis states that this property in the brain solidifies as you get older
- 24. new stimuli must be different and unique of other memories
- 25. a word that has similar spelling and sounds in two languages
- 26. effect of how we change the pronunciation of sounds based on neighboring sounds
- 27. pronunciation of certain syllables within a word (perMIT v. PERmit), also my mental state the next three weeks
- 28. mental shortcuts used in cognitive maps; examples include 90°, symmetry, alignment and rotation
- 29. type of bias that explains why speech errors result in other real words, rather than nonwords
Down
- 1. type of memory that is brief and active, coordinates ongoing mental activities
- 2. mental representations of categories
- 3. type of heuristic used to identify the end result to a problem, then breaking the problem down into methods
- 5. having a larger knowledge and memory base in a certain topic, shows better memory in said topic
- 7. theory proposed by Wilhelm Wundt, analyzed consciousness as made up of elementary elements of the mind, or building blocks of consciousness
- 8. coding that is abstract in nature, not stored visually or spatially, and doesn’t physically look like the original object
- 10. theory proposed by William James, analyzed consciousness in terms of everyday experiences
- 12. condition of joined sensations, theory validated by the perceptual pop-out effect
- 13. type of listening where an individual is hearing and processing two different conversations at once
- 14. meaning of words and sentences
- 15. a result in individuals with damage to their visual cortex where an they claim not to see an object, but can accurately describe it
- 17. scientist that hypothesized language development and learning is innate
- 19. type of memory task that tests your memory without asking for direct recall of knowledge
- 20. type of dementia caused by shrinking of temporal lobes, sudden onset
