  2. Fluid and crystallized intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_and_crystallized...

    Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve novel reasoning problems and is correlated with a number of important skills such as comprehension, problem-solving, and learning. [4] Crystallized intelligence, on the other hand, involves the ability to deduce secondary relational abstractions by applying previously learned primary relational ...

  3. Higher-order thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_thinking

    Higher-order thinking involves the learning of complex judgmental skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Higher-order thinking is considered more difficult to learn or teach but also more valuable because such skills are more likely to be usable in novel situations (i.e., situations other than those in which the skill was learned).

  4. Osmoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmoregulation

    Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated.

  5. Problem-based learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning

    Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes.

  6. Trial and error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

    In the field of computer science, the method is called generate and test (brute force). In elementary algebra, when solving equations, it is called guess and check. [citation needed] This approach can be seen as one of the two basic approaches to problem-solving, contrasted with an approach using insight and theory.

  7. Subgoal labeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgoal_labeling

    Learning subgoals can reduce cognitive load when problem solving because the learner has fewer possible problem-solving steps to focus. [1] Subgoal-labeled worked examples might provide learners with mental model frameworks. In a recent study, Learners who were given labels for subgoals used those labels when explaining how they solved a ...

  9. Osmotic concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_concentration

    Non-penetrating solutes cannot cross the cell membrane; therefore, the movement of water across the cell membrane (i.e., osmosis) must occur for the solutions to reach equilibrium. A solution can be both hyperosmotic and isotonic. [2]
