new objects and events that may fit the concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- concepts allow for the
identification of _________
formal concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- concepts formed by learning the specific rules or features
that define it (ex. a square)
natural concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- concepts formed as a result of people's experience in the
real world
natural concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- defined by a general set of features, not all of which must
be present for an object to be considered a member of the concept (ex. birds, fruits)
prototype - CORRECT ANSWER- an example that closely matches the defining characteristics of a
concept
1. the exposure a person has to objects in a category
2. the knowledge a person has about objects in a category
,3. the culture of a person - CORRECT ANSWER- what are the three things prototypes develop
according to?
decision making - CORRECT ANSWER- The process of evaluating alternatives and choosing among
them
mental imagery - CORRECT ANSWER- mental representations that stand for objects or events and
have a picture-like quality
physical objects - CORRECT ANSWER- Mental images are interacted in similar ways as __________.
concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- ideas that represent a class or category of objects, events, or
activities that share common characteristics
concepts - CORRECT ANSWER- contain the important features of the objects or events people think
about
problem solving - CORRECT ANSWER- the thoughts and actions required to achieve
trial and error - CORRECT ANSWER- a mechanical solution in which one possible solution after
another is tried until a successful one is found
algorithms - CORRECT ANSWER- very specific, step-by-step procedures for solving problems that
always result in the correct answer (mathematical formulas)
Heuristic ("rule of thumb") - CORRECT ANSWER- an educated guess based on prior experiences
that helps narrow down the possible solutions for a problem
cognitive "shortcut"
, representativeness heuristic - CORRECT ANSWER- tendency to judge an event by the extent to
which it resembles the typical case of whatever you judge them by
(ex. you think of an older lady like a sweet granny)
availability heuristic - CORRECT ANSWER- estimating the frequency or likelihood of events based
on how easy it is to recall relevant information from memory or how easy it is to think of
related examples
insight - CORRECT ANSWER- a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem
functional fixedness - CORRECT ANSWER- a barrier to problem solving that involves the tendency
to think of objects only in terms of their common uses
mental set - CORRECT ANSWER- the tendency for people to persist in using problem-solving
patterns that have worked for them in the past
confirmation bias - CORRECT ANSWER- the tendency to search for evidence that fits one's beliefs
while ignoring any evidence that does not fit those beliefs (ex. horoscopes)
creativity - CORRECT ANSWER- the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas
convergent thinking - CORRECT ANSWER- type of thinking in which a problem is seen as having
only one answer, and all lines of thinking will eventually lead to that single answer by using
previous knowledge and logic
divergent thinking - CORRECT ANSWER- type of thinking in which a person starts from one point
and comes up with multiple ideas/solutions based on that point
