Document Summary
P101 lecture 23 notes- language and thought (cont. ) When hearing speech, we take it in in a serial format; moment to moment changes in the voice/words of the speaker. Makes sense that it would be processed in left hemisphere: overgeneralization of rules can be explained by use of cognitive processes used to interprete language stimuli. Learning of exceptions to rules already learned = pattern recognition, more learning. Classifying and categorizing: concepts/categories will be used interchangeably; be able to recognize distinction if asked, concepts- mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas, people. Mental state; probably will not match up among people: categories- groupings of things that are socially constructed/agreed on. Allow us to generalize from one similar object to another. Help with memory; allow us to remember things without having to re-learn them (ie. how to do (cid:272)(cid:396)oss(cid:449)o(cid:396)d puzzles, e(cid:448)e(cid:374) though the(cid:455) do(cid:374)"t all look the sa(cid:373)e) Give clues for behavior: forming concepts.
