Mental Representations: EQ: How do we use mental representations to better understand the world around us?

I. Concepts: A category of objects, events, or ideas that have common properties To be able to understand the concept, one must have knowledge of the properties that are contained within that concept.

What is the Concept???

II. Types of Concepts: Formal Concept: A concept that can be clearly defined by a set of rules or properties Natural Concept: A concept that has no fixed set of defining features but has a set of characteristic features Prototype: A number of natural concepts that have all or most of its characteristic features Proposition: A mental representation of the relationship between concepts

Give Examples??? FORMAL CONCEPT: NATURAL CONCEPT: PROTOTYPE: PROPOSITION:

III. Propositions: A mental representation of the relationship between concepts.

IV. Schemas: A generalization about categories of objects, places, events, and people

V. Scripts: A Mental representation of familiar sequences of activities. What is the script for your morning???

VI. Mental Models: A group of propositions representing our understanding of objects and processes that guides our interaction with those things EX: Describing your dream house to a friend would allow them to create a mental model of what your house might look like.

VII. Images: A mental representation of visual information. This is process of sensation and perception. EASY!!!

Describe This!!!

VIII. Cognitive Maps: A mental representation of familiar parts of the environment We use cognitive maps to help us navigate the world around us
