| 6365040920 | Heuristic | a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgements and solve problems efficiently. |  | 4 |
| 6365040921 | Insight | a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem; it contrasts with strategy-based solutions. |  | 5 |
| 6365040922 | Confirmation bias | a tendency to search for information that supports our preconceptions and to ignore or distort contradictory evidence. | 6 | |
| 6365040923 | Fixation | the inability to see a problem from a new perspective, by employing a different mindset. | 7 | |
| 6365040924 | Mental set | a tendency to approach a problem in one particular way, often a way that has been successful in the past. |  | 8 |
| 6365040925 | Functional fixedness | the tendency to think of things only in terms of their usual functions; an impediment to problem solving. |  | 9 |
| 6365040926 | representative heuristic | judging the likely-hood of things based on how well they represent, or match, particularly prototypes. (Truck driver and librarian) |  | 10 |
| 6365040927 | Availability heuristic | estimating the likely-hood of events based on their availability in memory; if instances come readily to mind we presume such events are common. | 11 | |

| 6365040929 | Belief perserverence | clinging to ones initial concepts after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited. | 13 | |

| 6365040931 | Framing | the way an issue is posed; can significantly affect decisions and judgments. |  | 15 |
| 6365040932 | Phonemes | in language, the smallest distinctive sound unit. | 16 | |
| 6365040933 | Morphemes | in language, the smallest unit that carries meaning; may be part of a word. | 17 | |
| 6365040934 | Grammar | in a language, a system of rules that enables us to communicate with and understand each other. | 18 | |
| 6365040935 | Semantics | the set of rules by which we derive the MEANING from morphemes, words, and sentences in a given language; also the study of MEANING. | 19 | |
| 6365040936 | Syntax | the rules for combining words into grammatically sensible sentences in a given language. | 20 | |
| 6365040937 | Babbling Stage | beginning at about 4 months, the stage of speech development in which the infant spontaneously utters various sounds at first unrelated to the household language. | 21 | |

| 6365040939 | Two word stage | beginning about age 2, the stage in speech development during which a child speaks mostly 2 word statements. | 23 | |
| 6365040940 | Telegraphic speech | early speech stage in which a child speaks like a telegram using mostly nouns and verbs. | 24 | |
| 6365040941 | Aphasia | impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area or to Wernicke's area. | 25 | |
| 6365040942 | Broca's Area | controls language expression; an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere of the brain, that directs the muscle movements involving speech. (Controls speech muscles via the motor cortex) |  | 26 |
| 6365040943 | Wernicke's Area | controls language reception; a brain area involving in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe. (Interprets auditory code) |  | 27 |
| 6365068641 | Belief Bias | The tendency for one's preexisting beliefs to distort logical reasoning, sometimes by making invalid conclusions seem valid, or valid conclusions seem invalid. | 28 | |
| 6365068642 | Language | Our spoken, written, or signed words and the ways we combine them to communicate meaning. | 29 | |
