| 8187442623 | concept | a mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas or people general ex. breakfast, birds | 1 | |
| 8187447156 | prototype | a mental image or best example of a category specific (pancakes are this to breakfast, parrots are this to birds) helps discern between concepts | 2 | |
| 8187456460 | algorithm | a methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem step-by-step, slower, methodical, usually accurate way of problem solving | 3 | |
| 8187465311 | heuristic | a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but more error-prone than algorithms speedier, error prone, generalization based ways to solve problems | 4 | |
| 8187480673 | insight | a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem; it contrasts with strategy based solutions when you solve a problem, the "a-ha" moment | 5 | |
| 8187491424 | confirmation bias | a tendency to search for information that supports our preconceptions and to ignore or distort contradictory evidence we like anything that proves us right | 6 | |

| 8200146046 | mental set | a tendency to approach a problem in one particular way, often a way that has been successful in the past continuing to do something that has proven to be successful in the past | 8 | |
| 8200159914 | functional fixedness | the tendency to think of things only in terms of their usual functions; an impediment to problem solving using something only for it's function, never thinking outside the box | 9 | |
| 8200171226 | representativeness heuristic | judging the likelihood of things in therms of how well they seem to represent, or match, particular prototypes; may lead to ignoring other relevant information stereotypes basing judgments and decisions on appearance or stereotypes | 10 | |
| 8200188066 | availability heuristic | estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; if instances come readily to mind, we presume such events are common basing judgments on what's most readily available to me | 11 | |
| 8200201533 | overconfidence | the tendency to be more confident than correct and to overestimate the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments | 12 | |
| 8200210403 | belief perseverance | clinging to one's initial conceptions after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited tendency to look for things that prove your ideas even if it was disproven ej. flat earthers | 13 | |
| 8200221414 | intuition | an effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thought contrasted with explicit, conscious reasoning gut-feeling makes problem solving more difficult | 14 | |
| 8200229626 | framing | the way an issue is posed; how an issue is framed can significantly affect decisions and judgments how information is presented affects decisions and judgments | 15 | |
| 8213100033 | language | our spoken, written or signed words and the ways we combine them to communicate meaning all speech (thinking included), writing and gestures anything we use to communicate | 16 | |

| 8213115511 | grammar | in a language, a system of rules that enable us to communicate with and understand others unique to languages | 19 | |
| 8213119295 | semantics | the set of rules by which we derive meaning from morphemes, words and sentences in a given language; also the study of meaning figuring out what something means | 20 | |
| 8213127566 | syntax | the rules for combining words into grammatically sensible sentences in a given language combining words into sentences | 21 | |

| 8250690061 | productive language | producing words and speech | 23 | |
| 8250692785 | babbling stage | beginning around 4 months, the stage of speech development in which the infant spontaneously utters various sounds at first unrelated to the household language | 24 | |

| 8250754528 | Bronca's area | controls the language expression; an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movement involved in speech physically being able to produce speech muscles used to talk | 29 | |
| 8250770976 | Wernicke's area | controls language reception - a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression, usually in the left temporal lobe processing language how do you process language and what do you do with it | 30 | |
