It illustrates this with examples like the candle and two-string problems where habitual uses hinder novel solutions. Mental fixedness is linked to incorrect problem-solving approaches based on past experiences, leading to challenges like incorrect answer persistence.

It discusses how categories, although diverse, share commonalities making them informative. Concepts, which are mental representations of categories, guide behavior and learning. The text also explores the complexities of category definition, revealing issues like fuzzy boundaries and typicality.

By creating perceptual illusions, scientists explore how the brain interprets sensory information. These illusions, often used by artists to depict depth, demonstrate our ability to judge context rather than absolute qualities.

It explains how linguistic elements like phonemes and morphemes are mental representations, with psycholinguistics experimenting to understand language processing in the mind. Neurolinguistics examines the biological basis of language in the brain. The chapter focuses on experiments and methods in these fields to validate linguistic theories and concepts.

A key example is patient H.M., who developed anterograde amnesia after surgery, losing the ability to form new memories while maintaining procedural learning. The text distinguishes between organic amnesia, resulting from brain damage, and dissociative amnesia, linked to psychological trauma, illustrating how episodic and semantic memories are affected.
