-Algorithm- Methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a problem

-Availability Heuristic-Cognitive shortcut in which the probability of an event is determined by how easily the event can be brought to mind- you believe what is brought to mind- whats most available

-Belief Perseverance- Our tendency to cling to our beliefs in the face of contrary evidence- different from confirmation bias- info is presented to you

-Cognition- How you think and problem solve

-Concepts- Mental grouping of similar objects, event, ideas, or people

Confirmation Bias- tendency to search for information that confirms a personal bias- evidence to support an idea and dismiss things that don’t support your idea-Inability to see a problem from a fresh perspective- look for info

Fixation- Inability to see a problem from a fresh perspective- look for info

Framing- How an issue is presented can significantly affect decisions and judgements

Functional Fixedness- Tendency to think of only familiar functions for objects(there is only one way to use an object)- type of fixation

Heuristics- Simple thinking strategies that allow us to make judgements and solve problems efficiently

Insight- Sudden, new, realization of a solution to a problem, take trial and error.

Mental set- Tendency for old patterns of problem solving to persist and make it impossible to see new ways to solve the problem- type of fixation

Overconfidence- Being too confident and believing something very strongly

Prototypes- Your mental image of a person or object

Representative Heuristics- Judging the likelihood of things or object in terms of how well they represent our prototype-allows us to make quick judgement- like a stereotype

-Method of Loci- picturing something you know and applying what you need to remember
-Proactive interference- Old information interferes with the new information
-Retroactive interference- new information interferes with the old
-Decay theory- tip of the tongue phenomenon- things that you want to remember that decays over time
-Reconstruction- long term memory changes over time, eyewitness testimony is not reliable, elizabeth loftus
-Schema- mental script, use the past, i had an image of what highschool was like and now that im here it is different
- Memory cues
-recognition- choose the answer
-recall- find the answer on your own
-Mood congruent memory- if you are happy when it happens, you are happy when you remember it
-serial position effect- you dont remember the things in the middle

-Language- refers to written or gestured words
Units of language
Phonemes- smallest units of language Cat, Bat- change the phoneme change the meaning
Morphemes- smallest units that have meaning- a, I, pre, ed, un
Language theories
-Benjamin Worf and the linguistic relativity theory- your language     determines the way you think...Eskimos have alot of different words for snow so the language you speak changes the way you think about things
-BF Skinner- language is learned through association and reinforcement- praise for speaking
-Chomsky- learn and speak language used in the environment

How to improve memory
1. pay attention and reduce interference
2. use rehearsal techniques
3. organization
4. counteract serial position effect
5. time management
6. employ self monitoring and avoid overlearning
7. use mnemonic devices

-Iconic- visual memory lasts half a second
-Echoic- auditory memory lasts three to four seconds
Short term memory
-Holds up to 30 seconds and 5-9 items
-Maintenence rehearsal (rote)
-Working memory- either goes away or is put into long term memory
Long term memory
storage
-Relatively unlimited and permanent
-elaborative rehearsal
