What are the functions of concepts?

Which of the following theories of attention would predict that you can only use the physical characteristics of incoming stimuli to select which information to attend to? Select all that apply.

___________ amnesia leads to an impairment in memories from before the amnesia-causing incident, while ________ amnesia leads to an impairment in acquiring new memories after the amnesia-causing incident.

A well-defined problem is one in which:

In class we replicated the McDaniels et al. (2014) Builders and Diggers category learning experiment. Half of the class learned to categorize Builder and Digger animals using a simple rule, while the other half focused on perceptual similarities. At test, new animals of two types were presented: good transfer items and bad transfer items. Good transfer items were perceptually similar to the category for whom the rule applied. Bad transfer items met the rule for belonging to one category, but were more perceptually similar to the other category. What was the pattern of reuslts in this experiment? 

Map each of the following category labels onto its appropriate level in the hiearchy. Each term is used only once. 

If you are trying to help a friend use analogies in problem solving, which piece of advice should you NOT give?

Research shows that people have good knowledge of information that would be lost if the prototype was the only mental representation supporting human categorization performance. Which of these accurately describes that knowledge?

Henry Molaison (H.M.), had surgery to remove his hippocampus and medial temporal lobe. Afterwards, he could learn some new things, such as learning to read mirror inverted text, but he  never learned to recognize the researchers who worked with him day after day. This pattern demonstrates: 

In the Wu and Molnar (2022) study of complex problem solving involving regulating a cat’s purring and activity levels, they found that:
