Across
- 2. a mental predisposition or expectation that influences perception, often based on prior experiences, motives, or context.
- 5. A practice schedule that involves intervals of rest between sessions of learning.
- 7. the distortion of memory caused by exposure to misleading information after an event, leading to inaccuracies or false memories.
- 10. the tendency to recall information or experiences that are consistent with one's current mood or emotional state.
- 11. the phenomenon where individuals feel at risk of conforming to negative stereotypes about their social group, leading to decreased performance on tasks requiring intellectual ability.
- 14. depth cues that require only one eye to perceive depth and distance, such as relative size, interposition, and linear perspective.
- 17. mental ability consisting of the capacity to learn from experience, solve problems, adapt to new situations, and use knowledge to achieve goals.
- 22. in Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the process of incorporating new information or experiences into existing cognitive structures or schemas.
- 23. test designed to assess what a person has learned or accomplished in a particular area, such as academic subjects or job-related skills.
- 24. a mental image or representation of the typical features or essential characteristics of a category or concept.
- 25. a type of thinking characterized by narrowing down possible solutions to find a single correct answer, often associated with traditional problem-solving tasks.
- 27. the process of stabilizing and strengthening newly acquired memories over time through the reorganization of neural circuits.
- 28. the sudden realization or understanding of a problem's solution that contrasts with more incremental problem-solving methods.
- 29. the observed trend of increasing average intelligence test scores over time
Down
- 1. component of working memory responsible for the temporary storage and manipulation of visual and spatial information.
- 3. mental shortcut where judgments or decisions are based on how well an individual or event matches a particular prototype or stereotype.
- 4. type of amnesia characterized by the inability to form new memories after a specific event or injury, while memories from before the event remain intact
- 6. process of strengthening synaptic connections between neurons, believed to be a cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory.
- 8. Intelligence tests are common examples of this type of distribution
- 9. statistical technique used to identify and analyze the underlying structure of correlations between variables, often used to identify the factors underlying intelligence.
- 12. higher-level cognitive processes involved in goal setting, planning, problem-solving, decision-making, and self-regulation.
- 13. A model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin, describing memory as consisting of three stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
- 15. German word meaning "form" or "pattern," referring to the perceptual tendency to organize sensory information into meaningful wholes.
- 16. widely used intelligence test designed for adults, assessing various cognitive abilities including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
- 18. A phenomenon in visual perception where changes in a visual stimulus are not noticed by the observer.
- 19. the tendency to recall items from the beginning (primacy effect) and end (recency effect) of a list more accurately than items from the middle.
- 20. the retrieval of previously learned information without the aid of external cues
- 21. perceptual phenomenon where a rapid series of slightly different images or frames create the illusion of continuous motion, as seen in motion pictures.
- 26. A mnemonic technique involving the visualization of familiar spatial environments to enhance the recall of information.
