| 5416611354 | Concept | 1) a mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas, or people 2) ideas that stayed grouped | 1 | |
| 5416612008 | Prototype | 1) 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 (as when comparing feathered creatures to a prototypical bird, such as a robin). 2) typical example | 2 | |
| 5416613242 | Algorithm | 1) a methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. Contrasts with the usually speedier - but also more error-prone - use of heuristics. 2) slow but effect process for solving problems | 3 | |
| 5416615813 | Heuristic | 1) a simple thinking strategy that often allows us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently; usually speedier but also more error-prone than algorithms. 2) fast but sometimes incorrect answers for solving problems | 4 | |
| 5416616022 | Insight | 1) a sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem; it contrasts with strategy-based solutions. 2) "eurkia" moment | 5 | |
| 5416617302 | Creativity | 1) the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas. 2) ability to make products | 6 | |
| 5416618058 | Confirmation Bias | 1) a tendency to search for information that supports our preconceptions and to ignore or distort contradictory evidence. 2) finding information to prove our point and ignore other evidence | 7 | |
| 5416618694 | Fixation | 1) the inability to see a problem from a new perspective, by employing a different mental set. 2) stuck on a problem | 8 | |
| 5416619495 | Mental Set | 1) a tendency to approach a problem in one particular way, often a way that has been successful in the past. 2) approaching a problem in your way | 9 | |
| 5416620847 | Functional Fixedness | 1) the tendency to think of things only in terms of their usual functions; an impediment to problem solving. 2) stuck on the function of a problem | 10 | |
| 5416621529 | Representativeness Heuristic | 1) judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match, particular prototypes; may lead us to ignore other relevant information. 2) judging things on particular example | 11 | |
| 5416623657 | Availability Heuristic | 1) 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 2) using what is available in your mind to make judgement |  | 12 |
| 5416629027 | Overconfidence | 1) the tendency to be more confident that correct - to over-estimate the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments. 2) more confident than correct | 13 | |
| 5416629028 | Belief Perseverance | 1) clinging to one's initial conceptions after the basis on which they are formed has been discredited. 2) you clinging on believes | 14 | |
| 5416630054 | Intuition | 1) an effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thought, as contrasted with explicit, conscious reasoning. 2) gut feeling | 15 | |
| 5416630824 | Framing | 1) the way an issue is posed; how an issue is framed can significantly affect decisions and judgments. 2) the way an issue is presented | 16 | |
| 5416632239 | Language | 1) our spoken, written, or signed words and the ways we combine them to communicate meaning. 2) spoken, written, or signed communication | 17 | |
| 5416633026 | Phoneme | 1) in language, the smallest distinctive sound unit. 2) basic sounds | 18 | |
| 5416633621 | Morpheme | 1) in a language, the smallest unit that carries meaning; may be a word or a part of a word (such as a prefix). 2) basic and has meaning | 19 | |
| 5416634606 | Grammar | 1) in a language, a system of rules that enables us to communicate with and understand others. 2) rules for combining words | 20 | |
| 5416637834 | Semantics | 1) the set of rules by which we derive meaning from morphemes, words, and sentences in a given language; also, the study of meaning. 2) meaning of word | 21 | |
| 5416637835 | Syntax | 1) the rules for combining words into grammatically sensible sentences in a given language. 2) sentence structure | 22 | |
| 5416638651 | Babbling Stage | 1) 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. 2) at four months, you are babbling sounds | 23 | |
| 5416639403 | One-word Stage | 1) the stage in speech development, from about age 1 to 2, during which a child speaks mostly in single words. 2) at 1 year old, one word babbling | 24 | |
| 5416641018 | Two-word Stage | 1) beginning about age 2, the stage in speech development during which a child speaks mostly two-word statements. 2) 2 years old, two words together | 25 | |
| 5416641702 | Telegraphic Speech | 1) early speech state in which a child speaks like a telegram - "go car" - using mostly nouns and verbs. 2) 3 years old, speaks like a telegram (nouns and Verbs) | 26 | |
| 5416642549 | Linguistic Determinism | 1) Whorf's hypothesis that language determines the way we think. 2) your language is determining our thoughts |  | 27 |
