100
Retaining information in memory over time is called this.
What is storage?
100
This is a problem solving strategy that guarantees a solution to a problem.
What is an algorithm?
100
This is the ability to learn from experiences, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.
What is intelligence?
100

This type of intelligence involves accumulated knowledge and skills gained through experience and education.

Crystalized Intelligence


100

Organizing information into smaller, manageable units to improve memory retention is called this.

What is chunking?

200
Unconscious process of encoding certain information is called this.
What is automatic processing?
200
The tendency to think of things only in terms of their usual functions.
What is functional fixedness?
200
The ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions.
What is emotional intelligence?
200

Fluid intelligence is most closely related to this type of memory, which involves holding and manipulating information over short periods.

Working Memory

200

this phenomenon describes the frustration of knowing a word but being unable to say it.

What is the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon?

300
The tendency to recall the first and last items on a list more easily.
What is the serial positioning effect?
300
Our tendency to focus on information that supports our preconceptions.
What is confirmation bias?
300
A Frenchman who developed the test that would lead to today's intelligence tests.
Who is Alfred Binet?
300

This memory technique involves visualizing information placed along a familiar route or location.

Method of Loci

300

Chunking is particularly effective for this type of memory, which lasts only 20 seconds without rehearsal.

What is short-term memory (or working memory)?

400
This helps rehearsal by making material meaningful.
What is semantic encoding?
400
These are efficient and they lead to a rapid solution.
What is a mental set?
400
This is a level of a question that a child could answer.
What is their mental age?
400

Long-term potentiation requires repeated activation of these cells in the nervous system.

neurons

400

Retrieval failure occurs more frequently when memories interfere with each other. This type of interference happens when old memories disrupt new ones.

Proactive Interference

500
This is the recall of skills and procedures.
What is implicit memory?
500
This is a shortcut in thinking or remembering.
What is a heuristic?
500
These attempt to predict a test-taker's future performance.
What are aptitude tests?
500

Crystallized intelligence is strongly associated with this type of memory, which stores facts and general knowledge.

Semantic

500

This type of state-dependent memory focuses specifically on the emotional state, such as being happy or sad during encoding.
