Across
  1. 3. cognitive psychologists would point to this influence on judgment in explaining those who refute that the earth is round, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary
  2. 6. range of time in human development in which humans are biologically programmed to acquire language
  3. 7. founder of the modern iq test
  4. 9. mental set that prevents thinking of an object being used for something other than its original intended use
  5. 10. type of validity that measures if a test measures everything it is supposed to (did Mr. Mathrole put savant syndrome on this test?)
  6. 15. basic unit of sound in language h/a/t - 3
  7. 18. theorist who proposed that individuals have 7+ intelligences
  8. 20. discriminatory movement that promoted using IQ testing as a genetic identifier of intelligence
  9. 22. the type of non-reasoning that is used when you have no clue on how solve a problem
  10. 25. type of problem solving strategy illustrated by the hobbits/orc problem
  11. 26. another name for creative thinking “thinking outside of the box”
  12. 27. aspect of language focused on meaning
  13. 28. type of intelligence that is based on acquiring of information throughout a lifetime
  14. 30. measure of a tests ability to measure what it intends to

  17. 34. sternberg's theory that humans have 3 intelligences
  18. 36. component of language that separates humans from other primates - I walked to the store versus walked I store to
  19. 38. Whorf’s theory that language actively shapes cognition
  20. 40. type of heuristic that illustrated by individuals relying on only the information that they have been exposed to when making a judgment
  21. 41. type of test that is supposed to predict some future performance (e.g. the SAT with college performance).
Down
  1. 1. measure of a tests ability to reproduce the same results upon future tests
  2. 2. type of heuristic that illustrated by individuals comparing a judgment scenario to a schema that they have for that scenario and deciding if it fits their schema - e.g. librarians are quiet
  3. 4. type of validity that measures how closely a tests matches up with other tests - (SAT and ACT)
  4. 5. type of study typically used to figure out if a trait (like IQ) is more genetically based or environmentally influenced
  5. 8. type of problem solving strategy that would be illustrated by approaching a rubik's cube by getting all one side one color
  6. 11. theory developed by spearman that focuses on s and g as forms of intelligence
  7. 12. type of intelligence often assessed through facial expression recognition and self-survey
  8. 13. basic problem solving approach that uses general “rules of thumb”
  9. 14. if Sally answers all the questions a typical 5 year old can answer her __________ is 5 according to IQ calculation
  10. 16. type of test that measures how well a subject learns something – e.g. a Unit exam)

  14. 23. galton used this method to first measure intelligence
  15. 24. type of validity that measures how well a test measures what it intends to measure (do IQ tests really measure intelligence?)
  16. 28. influence on judgment in which you seek out information that provides support for your already held viewpoint - e.g. newsfeeds on social media
  17. 29. type of study on IQ that showed it remains relatively stable throughout a lifetime, with a decline in very old age
  18. 32. problem solving approach that is a formula that always leads to the correct result
  19. 35. stage of language development in which toddlers use 2 words combinations
  20. 37. type of intelligence based purely on mental flexibility - it peaks in young adulthood
  21. 39. this influence on judgment is illustrated in advertising campaigns for junk food “all natural ingredients” to increase your preference for it
