| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Schemas | - Mental frameworks that organize and interpret information - Help us process information quickly, but can cause bias or errors |
| Mental set | - A tendency to approach problems in the same way that worked in the past - Can interfere with problem solving when flexibility is needed |
| Algorithm | - Step-by-step problem-solving procedure that guarantees a solution |
| Heuristic | - Mental shortcut that saves time but increases error risk |
| Availability heuristic | Judging likelihood based on how easily examples come to mind |
| Representativeness heuristic | Judging based on how closely something matches a prototype |
| Prototype | The best or most typical example of a category |
| Divergent thinking | Thinking that explores many possible solutions Associated with creativity |
| Multi store model of memory | Encoding- transforming information into a usable form Storage- retaining information over time Retrieval- accessing stored information |
| Types of encoding | Effortful processing- Requires attention and conscious effort Automatic processing: Occurs without effort (e.g., time, space, frequency) |
| Implicit memory | Unconscious memories (skills, conditioned responses) |
| Explicit memory | Conscious memory |
| Episodic memory | Personal experiences (first day of kindergarten) |
| Semantic memory | Facts and knowledge |
| Procedural memory | Skills and habits |
| Anterograde amnesia | Unable to form new long term memories |
| Retrograde amnesia | Unable to recall prior knowledge Associated with the hippocampus |
| Forgetting curve | Memory declines rapidly after learning, then falls off over time |
| Primary effect | Better recall for items as the beginning of a list |
| Proactive interference | Old information interferes with new |
| Retroactive interference | New information interferes with old |
| Misinformation effect | Memory distortion caused by misleading information after an event |
| Framing | The way information is worded effects recall and decisions |
| Context dependent memory | Recall improves when learning and test taking environments match |
| State dependent memory | Recall improves when internal states (mood, drug state) match |
| Retrieval cues | Stimuli that helps access stored memories |
| Achievement test | Measured what has already been learned |
| Aptitude test | Predicts future performance or potential |
| Percentile rank | Indicates the percentage of people scored below a given score NOT the percent correct |
| Fluid intelligence | Ability to reason quickly and solve novel problems Declines with age |
| Crystallized intelligence | Accumulated knowledge and experience Increases or remains stable with age |
| Confirmation bias | Seeking certain information to support existing beliefs |
| Perceptual set | A readiness to perceive things in a particular way based on expectations |
| Fixed mindset | Intelligence is unfixable |
| Growth mindset |
