Answers
behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an approach to psychology that

| | | | | | | | | |
discussing the internal mechanisms responsible for behavior
| | | | | |
cognitivism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an approach to psychology that
| | | | | | | |
involves abstract descriptions of the information-processing
| | | | | |
mechanisms responsible for behavior | | |
learning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the process by which relatively
| | | | | | | |
permanent changes occur in behavioral potential as a result of
| | | | | | | | | |
experience
memory - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the relatively permanent trace of the
| | | | | | | | |
experience that underlies learning
| | |
Herman Ebbinghaus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a German psychologist

| | | | | | |
principle of belongingness - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Belongingness is
| | | | | | |
grouping items together to make their connection more apparent
| | | | | | | |
