PS 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Facial Expression, Phoneme
Document Summary
Embodied accounts: thinking explains our own thinking abilities. Common heuristics: ignores how common behaviors actually are in a population and commit the base rate fallacy. Availabilty: estimate the likelihood of an event based on how it comes to mind. Anchoring: rely on data point to base decisions on, make adjustments from the anchor, not sufficient. Top-down processing: using pre-existing knowledge: concepts and schemas. Decision making: make bigger decisions more carefully-can overwhelm us. Break down problems, make an analogy between present/past problems. Functional fixedness: can"t think of a new/different way to use something. Combines symbols in rule based ways for meanings. Phonemes: sounds that vocal apparatus produces: t and d . Convey semantics: meaning derived from words and sentences. Syntax: set of rules of language, how you construct sentences. Extra linguistic language: parts of speech that aren"t in context but critical to meaning. Facial expression, tone of voice, previous statements from others. Limited ability to coordinate sound to produce words.
