Memory
This type of memory involves knowledge about facts and concepts, independent of personal experience.
Semantic Memory
When a previously learned response decreases because the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus, it is called:
Extinction
What type of intelligence involves reasoning through novel problems and thinking flexibly?
Fluid Intelligence
What is the first step in the rational decision-making model?
Defining the problem
solving a multiple-choice question involves this type of creative thinking
convergent thinking
What type of memory allows you to hold information for just a few seconds, such as remembering a phone number briefly?
Sensory Memory
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a rest period following extinction is called:
Spontaneous Recovery
The ability to use learned knowledge and experience to solve problems is called:
Crystallized Intelligence
In rational decision-making, after weighing the criteria, what step comes next?
generating alternatives
Which level of creativity is personal and insightful, often occurring during learning?
Mini-C
9/11, COVID-19, and Woodstock is an example of what type of memory?
Collective Memory
Which phenomenon occurs when a previously learned cue prevents new learning about another cue predicting the same outcome?
Blocking
Which component of emotional intelligence involves recognizing and understanding the emotions of others, such as noticing a friend is upset even when they don’t say anything?
Social Awareness
fast, automatic thinking system
system 1
A professional artist consistently produces innovative work in their field. Which level of creativity does this represent?
Pro-c creativity
Repeating information over and over like a phone number so you can remember it long enough to write down is what type of rehearsal?
Maintenance rehearsal
A video game player earns bonus points after defeating a certain number of enemies, but the number changes randomly each time.
variable ratio schedule
According to Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, a person who excels at reading maps, visualizing objects in three dimensions, and mentally rotating shapes likely has high
Spatial Intelligence
What can interfere with making perfectly rational decisions due to fatigue or memory constraints?
Bounded rationality/Cognitive limitations
iterative model of creative problem solving involves what two types of thinking?
convergent and divergent thinking
You are studying for an exam and keep forgetting certain terms despite repeated review. You try connecting the terms to examples from your daily life, which helps you remember. What memory strategy are you using?
Elaborative Rehearsal
Every time Maria hears the ding of the microwave, she immediately starts salivating because she knows her favorite snack is ready. Over time, she begins to salivate at the sound of the microwave even before the food is fully cooked. Identify the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), conditioned stimulus (CS), unconditioned response (UCR), and conditioned response (CR) in this scenario.
UCS: The snack/food itself (naturally causes salivation)
CS: The microwave ding (initially neutral, now triggers response)
UCR: Salivating to the food
CR: Salivating to the microwave ding
A researcher claims that a single underlying cognitive ability predicts performance across a wide range of intellectual tasks, such as reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Which type of intelligence is being described?
G factor
Jordan is trying to choose a new apartment. They then consider criteria such as rent, commute time, safety, and proximity to friends. What step should they engage in next?
weighing criteria
A team is tasked with designing a sustainable community garden. They brainstorm dozens of ideas, prototype different layouts, receive community feedback, and refine their design over several weeks until it is both functional and creative. Identify how the stages of the iterative model of creative problem solving in this scenario
Divergent thinking: brainstorm ideas
Convergent thinking: narrow in/refine problem
Divergent thinking: brainstorm solutions
Convergent thinking: determine solution
