Study Notes
Creative Achievement Questionnaire
- Measures creative accomplishments and achievements across different creative domains
Problem-Solving Process
- Primary goal: to reach a goal state, starting from a given state
Functional Fixedness
- An example of a cognitive obstacle to problem-solving
Think-Aloud Protocol
- Allows researchers to study the thought processes involved in problem-solving
- Participants verbalize their thoughts during the problem-solving process
Analogical Transfer
- An example of using past experiences to solve new problems
Visual Imagery vs. Mental Imagery
- Visual imagery involves images that resemble the actual visual appearance of the object
- Mental imagery involves internal representations of objects that may not resemble the visual appearance of the object
Spatial Representations
- Representations of the spatial relationships between objects in the environment
- Define how objects are oriented and organized in space
Patient C.K.'s Difficulty
- Visual agnosia prevents recognizing objects
- Difficulty identifying and interpreting visual information
Propositional Representations
- Distinguishable because they are abstract and language-based
- Don't involve visual images
Mental Scanning vs. Visual Agnosia
- Mental scanning involves imagining moving around a mental representation of an object
- Visual agnosia involves difficulty interpreting visual information and recognizing objects
Studying That Suits You
Use AI to generate personalized quizzes and flashcards to suit your learning preferences.
Description
Test your knowledge on mental imagery, visual representations, and the ability to recreate sensory experiences in the absence of physical stimuli. Topics include visual imagery, mental scanning, and differences between abstract and concrete information representations.
