cognition - Answer all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering,
and communicating
concept - Answer a mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas, or people
prototype theory - Answer a theory in which concepts or word meanings are formed around
average or typical values
category boundary - Answer Where the function of identification is at 50%
Algorithm - Answer A methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a
particular problem.
Heuristic - Answer a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and
solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms
insight - Answer a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem
Confirmation - Answer proof; evidence; verification
Fixation - Answer according to Freud, a lingering focus of pleasure-seeking energies at an
earlier psychosexual stage, in which conflicts were unresolved
intuition - Answer an effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thought, as contrasted with
explicit, conscious reasoning
representativeness heuristic - Answer judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well
they seem to represent, or match, particular prototypes; may lead us to ignore other relevant
information
availability heuristic - Answer estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in
memory; if instances come readily to mind (perhaps because of their vividness), we presume
such events are common
, Overconfidence - Answer the tendency to be more confident than correct—to overestimate
the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments.
belief perseverance - Answer clinging to one's initial conceptions after the basis on which
they were formed has been discredited
Framing - Answer the way an issue is posed; how an issue is framed can significantly affect
decisions and judgments.
powers of intuition - Answer our thoughts are partly controlled (conscious) and partly
automatic (unconscious)
creativity - Answer the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas
divergent thinking - Answer expands the number of possible problem solutions (creative
thinking that diverges in different directions)
convergent thinking - Answer narrows the available problem solutions to determine the
single best solution
Robert Sternberg - Answer intelligence; devised the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence
(academic problem-solving, practical, and creative)
Five ingredients of creativity - Answer Expertise
Imaginative thinking skills
Venturesome personality
Intrinsic motivation
Creative environment
language - Answer our spoken, written, or signed words and the ways we combine them to
communicate meaning
phoneme - Answer in language, the smallest distinctive sound unit
Morpheme - Answer in a language, the smallest unit that carries meaning; may be a word or
a part of a word (such as a prefix)
