- 2. this is one method of representation used in problem solving. This method involves a table that associates one factor with each of the corresponding factors.
- 6. messages of this type are thought to be hidden in advertisement to sway audiences. Largely put forth by James Vicary.
- 8. recognition of object. What we interpret the object as through cognition.
- 10. states that mental images are coded in terms of language, not likeness to physical objects. One of the two theories of mental image format.
- 11. this effect names the impact of visual context on language perception. The most common example of this is differentiating “ba” and “fa” sounds.
- 15. processes, mental processes that require conscious effort and intention. Naming colors is a classic example.
- 16. Attention, the process by which we consciously focus on one thing and therefore ignore other extraneous stimuli. One of the types of attention.
- 18. means “joined sensations,” and denotes crossover between the senses and perception, such as seeing sounds. It is known to have a genetic component and is much more common in women.
- 20. concentration of mental effort on sensory or mental events. The process by which our brains filter stimuli for processing.
- 22. Morris’ approach to effective reading for studying. The letters stand for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.
- 23. this division of psychology states that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. One of the antecedents to cognitive psychology.
- 24. states that mental images are coded in terms of exact representations to physical objects. One of the two theories of mental image format.
- 26. Stimulus, retinal image of the object. Refers to the (upside-down) image we can then interpret.
- 28. Attention, the process by which we [try to] focus on more than one thing at a time. One of the types of attention.
- 29. this is one method of representation used in problem solving. This involves using characters to represent other concepts, such as variables in math.

- 1. this is the term for a prototypical sequence of events. These are universally recognized, but rarely perfectly accurate.
- 3. refers to all processes by which the sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used. Defined by Ulrich Neisser.
- 4. this word describes the meaning of words or sentences. There are many rules governing these, called grammar.
- 5. “________ State Hypothesis” states that changes in neural plasticity play a role in language acquisition ability. This is a possible reason children are quick to learn languages.
- 7. this is the second subdivision of memory that processes information to which we dedicate attention. Maintenance rehearsal can preserve information at this point.
- 8. this is the word for the smallest individual unit of spoken language. These generally correspond to a single letter or a short string of letters in English.
- 9. the inability to process information, despite having no visual impairment. People with this disability are often able to sense movement.
- 12. this is the term for mental representation of categories. This is different to each individual and explains how each person sees things that belong together.
- 13. the theory of semantic memory that says we organize categories based on similarity to the most typical example of this category. This typical example is termed the “prototype.”
- 14. mnemonic method in which an image is called to mind to link the meaning of the vocabulary word. The two words can be linked by any degree of relatedness, so long as the image calls the meaning to mind.
- 17. this is the third subdivision of memory in which encoded information is stored for extended periods of time. Recalling information from here is called retrieval.
- 19. this is the first subdivision of memory to process new input. Unattended information is lost from here.
- 21. Stimulus, physical object in the environment. Refers to the real-world thing that we then perceive.
- 25. a term for the distribution of study time over a given period. This is extremely important in determining long-term retention.
- 27. VR, a type of technology used to aid in language acquisition. This simulates immersive experiences.
