Memeory
The process of putting information into the memory system.
encoding
metacognition is defined as:
how people think about their own thinking
habitability people have gotten smarter, have increased over time
Flynn effect
The long, fiber like part of a neuron which the cell sends information to receiving neurons
Axon
How many tubes does the Vestibular system have
3
The famous Ebbinghaus forgetting curve indicates that how well we remember information depends on
how long ago we learned that information.
functional fixedness:
think of things only in usual functions
stability over time of test scores
Reliability
A network of branches coming from individual cells. They carry information and electrical signals in the brain and nervous system
Dendrite
Waves that are close together have a.... (What kind of pitch)
High pitch
The tendency for people remember best words from the first part of a list and the last part of a list, while most likely forgetting words in the middle.
serial position effect
how does social media contribute to confirmation bias
by finding like minded people
identifies cluster
Factor Analysis
A nerve cell that is the basic working unit of the brain and nervous system which processes and transmits information
Neuron
Decibels are a combination of
Amps and Frequency
3rd Stage of the Atkinson Shiffrin memory model. Information is transferred here when one REHEARSES. Info can stay here forever possibly.
long-term memory
Algorithms are to guaranteed solution as heuristics are to _____
educated guess
who believed we have one general intelligence
Charles Spearman
this insulating material forms a layer, around the axon of a neuron. It enables electrical signals to travel down the axon at higher speeds.
Myelin
What is the pathway of light to the brain
cornea,pupil,lens,retina,optic nerve
1st Stage of Atkinson-Shiffrin Memory model..includes iconic and echoic memories that last only few seconds unless we pay attention.
sensory memory
In problem solving what is used more often
heuristics
emphasizes speed, accuracy, logic
Cognitive Thinking
A chemical produced by neurons that carries messages to other neurons
Neurotransmitter
Frequency Theory
Explains how people discriminate low pitch sound
