answers
cognition |- |ANSWER-the |activity |of |knowing |and |the |processes |through |which |knowledge |is |aquired |
and |problems |are |solved.
What |was |Piaget |interested |in? |- |ANSWER-How |children |thought, |not |just |what |they |know.
What |is |the |correct |order |of |Piaget's |stages |of |cognitive |development? |- |ANSWER-Sensorimotor, |
preoperational, |concrete |operational, |formal |operational
Coordination |of |secondary |schemes |- |ANSWER-secondary |actions |are |coordinated |in |order |to |achieve |
simple |goals |(ie; |pushing |or |grasping)
Object |permanence |- |ANSWER-the |understanding |that |objects |continue |to |exist |when |they |are |not |
visible.
Symbolic |capacity |- |ANSWER-the |ability |to |use |images, |words, |gestures |to |represent |or |stand |for |
objects |and |experiences.
Perceptual |salience |- |ANSWER-understanding |is |driven |by |how |things |look |rather |than |derived |from |
logical |reasoning.
Ego-centrism |- |ANSWER-difficulty |seeing |things |from |other |perspectives |and |assume |that |what |is |in |
their |mind |is |also |what |others |are |thinking.
What |is |Atkinson |and |Shiffrin |known |for? |- |ANSWER-The |human |information |processing |system.
How |does |sensory |register |work? |- |ANSWER-The |sensory |register |logs |input, |holds |an |environmental |
stimulus |for |a |fraction |of |a |second. |With |attention |information |is |moved |to |short-term |memory, |holds
, |about |7 |chunks |of |information, |short-term |memory |may |be |passive |or |active, |active |short-term |
memory |is |working |memory, |stores |information |while |actively |working |on |it, |remembered |
information |is |moved |to |long-term |memory.
Long |term |memory |- |ANSWER-relatively |permanent |store; |knowledge |of |the |world, |past |events, |
information |processing |strategies.
How |is |information |processed |for |the |first |time? |- |ANSWER-information |made |available |by |the |
environment |is |processed |by |a |series |of |processing |systems |(e.g. |attention, |perception, |short-term |
memory);these |processing |systems |transform |or |alter |the |information |in |systematic |ways; |the |aim |of |
research |is |to |specify |the |processes |and |structures |that |underlie |cognitive |performance; |information |
processing |in |humans |resembles |that |in |computers.
Storage |process |- |ANSWER-Information |can |only |be |stored |for |a |brief |duration |in |short-term |memory |
(0-30 |seconds), |but |long-term |memory |can |last |a |lifetime.
Implicit |memory |- |ANSWER-occurs |unintentionally, |automatically, |and |without |awareness. |Ie; |riding |a |
bike.
Explicit |memory |- |ANSWER-involves |deliberate, |effortful, |recollection.
What |is |taking |place |in |the |limitation |of |memory |in |older |adults? |- |ANSWER-metamemory
What |was |the |original |intent |of |Binet |and |Simon? |- |ANSWER-Permitted |testers |to |describe |a |child's |
mental |age, |the |level |of |age-graded |problems |a |child |could |solve.
Who |is |David |Wechsler? |- |ANSWER-Tests |yield |a |verbal |IQ |score |and |a |performance |IQ |score.
Naturalistic |Intelligence |- |ANSWER-expertise |in |the |natural |world |of |plants |and |animals.
Linguistic |Intelligence |- |ANSWER-language |skills
