Thinking, Problem-Solving, Judgments, and Decision-Making

This AP Psychology study guide covers cognitive processes including thinking, problem-solving, judgment, and decision-making. Key concepts include concepts, schemas (assimilation and accommodation), problem-solving strategies (algorithms and heuristics), influences on decision-making (mental set, priming, framing), cognitive biases (gambler's fallacy and sunk-cost fallacy), and executive functions and creativity (divergent thinking and functional fixedness). The guide also provides practice questions and exam tips.
