Across
  1. 2. The persistence of learning over time; an active system that uses encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
  2. 3. ______lobe. Brain region involved in working memory, effortful processing, and attention for explicit memories.
  3. 5. An effortful processing strategy involving organizing large bits of information into smaller "chunks."
  4. 7. Tests designed to predict a person's future performance or capacity to learn a new skill.
  5. 9. The action of repeating information to keep it in short-term memory and help store it long-term.
  6. 10. A type of explicit memory dealing with specific, personally experienced events.
  7. 14. The brain structure that processes implicit memories, including classically conditioned responses and reflexes.
  8. 16. The process of retaining encoded information over time.
  9. 17. Memory storage characterized by a nearly limitless capacity and relative permanence.
  10. 18. ______intelligence. Howard Gardner's theory viewing intelligence as multiple abilities that manifest in different areas/expertises.
  11. 21. The type of intelligence involved in academic problem solving, sometimes referred to as "book smart".
  12. 22. The inability to form new memories (encode).
  13. 23. Memory stage characterized by a small capacity (7 +/- 2 items) and short duration (2-12 seconds).
  14. 24. Retrieving information learned earlier without help from external cues.
  15. 25. Collection of concepts that work as mental shortcuts to help organize and interpret information.
  16. 27. The process of processing information into the memory system.
  17. 31. A type of explicit memory dealing with facts and general knowledge.
  18. 35. _____ mindset. A belief system characterized by viewing challenges as opportunities and believing that talent is ever-improving.
  19. 36. The inability to retrieve information from one's past (long-term memory).
  20. 37. ______ bias. Tendency to search for information that supports pre-existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory information.
  21. 38. Identifying information previously learned with help from external cues.

Down
  1. 1. Memory acquired subconsciously, including conditioned responses, well-learned skills, and routine tasks.
  2. 4. Brain structure that processes emotional information; greater emotion leads to stronger memory association.
  3. 6. _____ intelligence. Charles Spearman's belief that a common skill set or mental capacity underlies all intelligent behavior ('g').
  4. 7. ____heuristic. Tendency to estimate the likelihood of an event based on how available or recent it is in memory.
  5. 8. _______intelligence. The awareness and ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions.
  6. 11. The "best example" of a concept/category that includes its most basic/typical features. ASSIMILATION Interpreting and processing new information or experiences.
  7. 12. The process of updating schemas to incorporate new information or experiences.
  8. 13. The process of getting information out of storage, also known as accessing memories or "remembering".
  9. 15. Activation, often unconsciously, of associations within our memory to aid retrieval.
  10. 19. The ability to adapt to new situations by learning from experiences, acquiring knowledge, and solving problems.
  11. 20. Mental shortcuts or "rules of thumb" used to solve problems quickly; prone to error, but efficient.
  12. 26. The type of intelligence required for everyday tasks that may be poorly defined and have multiple solutions.
  13. 28. All mental activities associated with Thinking, Knowing, Remembering, and Communicating.
  14. 29. The brain structure referred to as the brain’s "save" button; acts as a loading dock for explicit memories.
  15. 30. A step-by-step process or recipe for solving a problem that is predictable, reliable, and accurate.
  16. 31. The stage of memory encoding with large capacity, short duration (0-2 seconds), and unconscious processing.
  17. 32. Tests designed to assess what a person has learned or achieved.
  18. 33. The type of intelligence focused on innovation, generating ideas, and the ability to adapt.
