Definitions under Learning heading pg 476 (cereal learning) -Classifying objects
- involves cognition of semantic classes

Cognition-
- tasks include, comprehension of videos, newspaper stories, reading signs and directions Matching related words- (e.g. draw a line from each word in the lfet hand column to the related word in the right hand column Word categorization tasks- circle the word that belongs in the category "Atlantic city) Write in a new word that does belong Yes/no questions- e.g. reach each question, and mark yes or no Sentence arrangement- of scrambled sentence for target core vocabulary items (e.g. rearrange these words to form correct sentence. Atlantic city are we to going)
Definitions under Learning heading pg 476 (cereal learning) -Induction
-is thought to be in the area of cognition because of its discovery properties
Principles of intervention pg 488 -Intervention should be oriented toward the following traditional therapeutic principles: (p2)
7. Begin with exaggerated sensory stimulation—for example, talking through a microphone or using a variety of inflectional patterns (McConnell, Love, & Smith, 1974)—and then gradually decrease this exaggeration. 8. Begin with short stimuli/responses, and move toward longer stimuli/responses 9. Begin with continuous reinforcement, and move toward intermittent reinforcement (Grant, Hake, & Hornseth, 1951; Jensen & Cotton, 1960). 10. Begin with clinician reinforcement, and move toward self-reinforcement (Staats, 1968).

Principles of intervention pg 488 -Intervention should be oriented toward the following traditional therapeutic principles: (p1)
Begin with the tangible (here and now), and move toward the representational. 2. Begin with the concrete, and move toward the abstract. 3. Begin with the simple, and move toward the complex. 4. Begin with the real, and move toward the complex. 5. Begin with actions on objects, and move toward verbalizations concerning these actions. 6. Begin with simple classifications, and move toward reclassifications and multiple classifications.

Serial Learning
is essentially dealing with systems, because learned order is a system. Reasoning, redefined as relational thinking, involves mostly cognition and convergent production-but especially cognition of semantic systems.
Induction
is thought to be in the area of cognition because of its discovery properties. Deduction is primarily in the area of convergent production, because it has to do with drawing firm conclusions.
Abstraction occurs when the person
selectively picks abstract dimensions of the object and reacts to those dimensions and no others.
