Perception
A depth cue that merges retinal images by the brain
What is convergence?
What is the hippocampus?
changes in schemas to incorporate information from experiences
Accomodation
you literally weren't paying attention
Encoding failure
Known as the Aha! Moment
What is insight learning?
what we focus on is what we perceive as "figure" while what is made "secondary" or "not the focus" becomes the "ground"
What is figure ground perception?
you know all the characters names from stranger things because youve been wtaching it for 10 years (even though you never intended to memorize the names)
the cognitive pattern where one puts a massive amount of resources into something and continues to do so because they believe it will work out
What is Gamblers Fallacy
deepest level of encoding
Semantic encoding?
A type of intelligence that decreases over time
What is fluid intellgence?
the progressive decline in the resolution of textures as the viewer moves away from them
What is texture gradient?
A type of memory that has unlimited capacity
What is long term memory?
a simple structure or association that helps us make a piece of information more memorable
A mnemonic device?
The most surface level encoding
What is known as the underlying source of intelligence
G-factor
the principle that the size of an object's visual image is a function of its distance from the eye
What is linear perspective?
A memory system that holds sensing memory.
What is sensory memory?
we best remember the first (primacy effect) and the last (recency effect) pieces of information we receive
What is Serial Position effect?
memory is best when a person's emotional or physiological state is the same when he/she is being tested as it when he/she was learning
What is state dependent memory?
the observation that average IQ scores have been rising steadily over the past century
What is the flynn effect?
perceived size of an object remains constant despite changes in the size of the retinal image of that object
What is size constancy?
Fact memory
Semantic Memory
how the brain automatically organizes stimuli into apparent "groups"
What is grouping?
the general process of strengthening a memory over time through long-term potentiation
argues that we have multiple, independent intelligences, not just one general intelligence
What is howard gardner's theory?
