Today's topic: thinking and language. This falls under the broader topic of cognition, along with memory.
Here is an interesting article on how our thinking can impact our bodies. Remember the brain can change the mind, and the mind can change the brain/body.
Of course, some flashcards.
And 56 multiple choice review questions.
A quick example of the availability heuristic (also review problem solving concepts, the representative heuristic and algorithms):
Language is another big part of cognition, so make sure you are familiar with things like phonemes, morphemes, semantics, syntax, word salad, language acquisition and the critical period hypothesis. Which parts of the brain are specially involved in language?
If you are particularly interested in children's acquisition of language, check out this video. It is a bit long and wordy, so don't waste the time on it if you're aren't interested.
A general crashcourse video on cognition...
What do you think about the information regarding animals learning language? Do you think animals are just as competent as humans when it comes to language? Is language something that can be used as an example of what separates humans from animals?
Finally, do you remember our discussion of Genie? What do we mean when we talk about feral children? How are their language skills and cognition disrupted?
