| 8949712268 | Cognition | All the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and ccommunicating | 0 | |
| 8949712269 | Concept | A mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas, or people | 1 | |
| 8949712270 | Algorithm | A methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. Contrasts with the usually speedier - but also more error-probe - using heuristics | 2 | |
| 8949712271 | Prototype | A mental image or best example of a category. Matching new items to a prototype provides a quick and easy method for sorting items into categories | 3 | |
| 8949712272 | Heuristic | A simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgment and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms | 4 | |
| 8949712273 | Insight | A sudden realization of problem's solution; contrasts with strategy-based solutions | 5 | |
| 8949712274 | Confirmation bias | A tendency to search for information that supports our preconceptions and to ignore or distort contradictory evidence | 6 | |
| 8949712275 | Mental set | A tendency to approach a problem in one particular way, often a way that has been successful in the past | 7 | |
| 8949712276 | Intuition | An effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thought, as contrasted with explicit, conscious reasoning | 8 | |
| 8949712277 | Availability heuristic | Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; if instances come readily to mind (perhaps because of their vividness), we presume such events are common | 9 | |
| 8949712278 | Over confidence | The tendency to be more confident that correct - to over-estimate the accuracy of our beliefs and judgements | 10 | |
| 8949712279 | Belief perseverance | Clinging to ones initial conceptions after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited | 11 | |
| 8949712280 | Framing | The way an issue is posed; how an issue is framed can significantly affect decisions and judgments | 12 | |
| 8949712281 | Creativity | The ability to produce new and valuable ideas | 13 | |
| 8949712282 | Convergent thinking | Narrowing the available problem solutions to determine the single best solution | 14 | |
| 8949712283 | Divergent thinking | Expanding the number of possible problem solutions; creative thinking hat diverges in different directions | 15 | |
| 8949712284 | Language | Our spoken, written, or signed words and the ways we combine them to communicate meaning | 16 | |
| 8949712285 | Phoneme | In a language, the smallest distinctive sound unit | 17 | |
| 8949712286 | Morpheme | In a language, the smallest unit that carries meaning, may be a word or part of one like a prefix | 18 | |
| 8949712287 | Grammar | In a language the system of dukes that enables us to communicate with and understand others. In a given language, semantics is the set of rules for deriving meaning from sounds, and syntax is the set of rules for combining words into grammatically sensible sentences | 19 | |
| 8949712288 | Babbling stage | Beginning at around 4 months, the stage of speech development in which the infant spontaneously utters various sounds unrelated to household language | 20 | |

| 8949712290 | Two-word stage | Beginning about age 2 where speech development during which a child speaks mostly in two words | 22 | |
| 8949712291 | Telegraphic speech | Early speech stage in which a child speaks like a telegram using mostly nouns and verbs | 23 | |
| 8949712292 | Aphasia | Impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area (impairing understanding) | 24 | |
| 8949712293 | Broca's area | Controls language expression | 25 | |
| 8949712294 | Wernicke's area | Controls language reception | 26 | |
| 8949712295 | Linguistic determinism | Whorf's hypothesis that language determines the way we think | 27 | |
| 8949712296 | Aptitude | The ability to learn in the future | 28 | |
| 8949712297 | Mental age | A measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the chronological age that most typically corresponds to the given level of performance. Thus a child who does as well as an average 8 year old said to have the mental age of 8 | 29 | |
| 8949712298 | Cohort | A group of people sharing a common characteristic | 30 |
