Thinking/Intelligence
A ___ is a mental shortcut or "rule of thumb" that helps solve problems quickly and efficiently.
Heuristic
this is any relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge due to experience.
What is Learning
his brain structure is essential for forming new explicit memories.
What is the hippocampus?
Rhis type of learning happens when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus.
What is Classical Conditioning
This is the discomfort you feel when your actions don't match your beliefs.
What is cognitive dissonance?
What is the difference between fluid and crystallized intelligence?
Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve novel problems and think abstractly, while crystallized intelligence is knowledge accumulated over time.
The tendency to imitate behaviors that lead to rewards for others is called this.
What is Vicarious learning or Vicarious conditioning?
This is the process of getting information into memory.
What is Encoding
_ are the best example of a concept and help us quickly identify new instances of that concept.
Prototypes
___ bias leads people to focus on information that confirms their existing beliefs, which can distort logical reasoning.
What is confirmation bias
Define Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence enhances interpersonal relationships, empathy, and conflict resolution, which are crucial for teamwork and leadership, whereas analytical intelligence supports task execution and problem-solving
Reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior is known as this technique.
What is shaping?
This type of memory lets you remember how to ride a bike, even if you can't explain it.
What is Procedural Memory?
In classical conditioning, this occurs when similar stimuli produce the same conditioned response.
What is stimulus generalization
This is the tendency to overestimate dispositional factors and underestimate situational ones when judging others.
Wha is fundamental attribution theory?
Why might an algorithm be more reliable than a heuristic?
Algorithms follow a step-by-step procedure that guarantees a solution, while heuristics are quicker but more error-prone.
A child learns to fear bees after being stung but doesn't fear flies or butterflies. This demonstrates this concept.
Stimulus discrimination
This type of rehearsal is more effective than rote memorization because it connects new info to what you already know.
What is elaborative rehearsal?

What is negative reinforcement
The Clark Doll Test was used as key evidence in this landmark 1954 Supreme Court case.
Brown v Board of Education (1954)
How are concepts useful in everyday life?
They help us categorize information quickly and efficiently, aiding in decision-making and communication.
This type of conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus by being paired with an already conditioned stimulus, rather than an unconditioned stimulus.
Higher order conditioning OR
Second order conditioning
___ explains forgetting as the result of new or old memories blocking each other.
What is Interference?
This type of learning involves observing others and imitating their behavior. Bandura demonstrated this in his famous experiment involving the Bobo doll...
What is modeling?
or
What is observational learning?
