critical thinking
ans:>thinking that does not blindly accept arguments and conclusions.
Rather, it examines assumptions, appraises, the source, discerns hidden
biases, evaluates evidence, ans assesses conclusions
Chunking
ans:>organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs
automatically
empiricism
ans:>the idea that knowledge comes from experience, and that
observation and experimentation enable scientific knowledge
mnemonics
ans:>memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery
and organizational devices
structuralism
ans:>an early school of thought promoted by Wundt and Titchener; used
introspection to reveal the structure of the human mind
spacing effect
ans:>the tendency for distributed study or practice to yield better long-
term retention than is achieved through massed study or practice
,introspection
ans:>the process of looking inward in an attempt to directly observe
one's own psychological processes
testing effect
ans:>enhanced memory after retrieving, rather than simply rereading,
information
functionalism
ans:>explored how mental and behavioral processes function - how they
enable the organism to adapt, survive, and flourish
shallow processing
ans:>encoding on a basic level based on the structure or appearance of
words
behaviorism
ans:>the view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2)
studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research
psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2).
deep processing
ans:>encoding semantically, based on the meaning of the words; tends
to yield the best retention
human psychology
ans:>a historically significant perspective that emphasized human
growth potential
semantic memory
ans:>explicit memory of facts and general knowledge
Episodic memory
ans:>Explicit memory o personally experienced events
,congnitive psychology
ans:>the study of mental processes, such as occur when we perceive,
learn, remember, think, communicate, and solve problems
Hippocampus
ans:>A neural center located in the limbic system that helps process
explicit memories for storage.
cognitive neuroscience
ans:>the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition
(including perception, thinking, memory, and language)
psychology
ans:>the science of behavior and mental processes
Memory consolidation
ans:>the neural storage of a long-term memory
nature-nurture issue
ans:>the longstanding controversy over the relative contributions that
genes and experience make to the development of psychological traits
and behaviors. Today's science sees traits and behaviors arising from
the interaction of nature and nurture
flashbulb memory
ans:>A clear, sustained memory of an emotionally significant moment or
event.
natural selection
ans:>the principle that inherited traits that better enable an organism to
survive and produce in an particular environment will most likely be
passed on to succeeding generations
, long-term potentiation (LTP)
ans:>an increase in a cell's firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation.
Believed to be a neural basis for learning and memory
evolutinary psychology
ans:>the study of the evolution of behavior and the mind, using
principles of natural selection
Priming
ans:>the activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in
memory
encoding specificity principle
ans:>the idea that cues and contexts specific to a particular memory will
be most effective in helping us recall it
behavior genetics
ans:>the study of the relative power and limits of genetic and
environmental influences on behavior
culture
ans:>the enduring behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, and traditions
shared by a group of people and transmitted from one generation to the
next
serial position effect
ans:>our tendency to recall best the last and first items in a list
positive psychology
ans:>the scientific study of human flourishing, with the goals of
discovering and promoting strengths and virtues that help individuals
and communities to thrive
mood-congruent memory
