Essential Task 7 -1: Define cognition and identify how the following interact to form our cognitive life: schemata/concepts, prototypes, assimilation, accommodation, effortful processing, and unconscious processing. Cognition Assimilation Effortful Processing Schema Accommodation Unconscious Processing Prototype
Essential Task 7 -2: Identify problem-solving techniques (algorithms and heuristics) as well as factors that influence their effectiveness (problem representation, mental set and functional fixedness). Problem Solving Algorithms Obstacles to Problem Solving Heuristics Problem Representation Mental Set Functional Fixedness
Essential Task 7 -3: Identify decision making techniques (compensatory models, representativeness heuristics, and availability heuristics) as well as factors that influence decision making (overconfidence, confirmation bias, belief perseverance, and hindsight bias) Decision Making Factors that hurt Overconfidence Compensatory Model Representativeness Heuristics Confirmation Bias Belief Bias Availability Heuristics Belief Perseverance Hindsight bias
Essential Task 7 -4: List the characteristics, stages, and ways to foster creative thought. Creativity Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 5
Essential Task 7 -5: Synthesize how biological, cognitive and cultural factors converge to facilitate the use of language (phonemes, morphemes, syntax and semantics) and its development (holophrastic stage, telegraphic speech). Language Development Phonemes Babbling Morphemes One-Word Stage (Holophrastic) Grammar Syntax Semantics Two-Word Stage (Telegraphic)
Essential Task 7 -6: Synthesize how biological, cognitive, and cultural factors converge to facilitate the acquisition (critical periods, Universal Inborn Grammar, and Victor/Genie) of language Language Acquisition Feral Children Imitation? Operant Conditioning? Universal Inborn Grammar Critical Periods
Essential Task 7 -7: Analyze how culture impacts language (linguistic determinism) and the quality and depth of non-human thought and language-free processing. Language Cultural Influences Non-human thought and language
