AP Psych: Unit 5 Pt. 3

Thinking about one's thinking:

• Metacognition

• Convergent Thinking

• Mental Set

• Compensatory Model

Cognition about cognition:

• Metacognition

• Convergent Thinking

• Heuristic

• Confirmation bias

The most recognizable example of a concept:

• Prototype

• Mental Set

• Inductive Reasoning

• Heuristic

Baseline for heuristic:

• Prototype

• Framing

• Mental Set

• Compensatory Model

Step by step procedure for problem solving that goes through every possible solution:

• Algorithm

• Availability Heuristic

• Framing

• Divergent Thinking

Problem solving method that guarantees the right answer, but is time consuming:

• Representative Heuristic

• Compensatory Model

• Algorithm

• Deductive Reasoning

Error prone problem solving method, but takes less time:

• Heuristic

• Noncompensatory Model

• Framing

• Fixation

Mental shortcut:

• Prototype

• Heuristic

• Framing

• Convergent Thinking

Determining the likelihood that something connects to a concept based on its similarity to the prototype:

• Representative Heuristic

• Availability Heuristic

• Mental Set

• Convergent Thinking

Type of short cut that causes people to ignore information that is not characteristic of the prototype:

• Representative Heuristic

• Availability Heuristic

• Framing

• Convergent Thinking
