    The Learning segment of this module focuses on the primary ways in which learning occurs.

    In the Thinking and Intelligence segment of this module, we will focus on high-level cognitive processes. As a part of this discussion, we will consider thinking and briefly explore the development and use of language. We will also discuss problem solving and creativity before ending with a discussion of how intelligence is measured and how our biology and environments interact to affect intelligence. After finishing this chapter, you will have a greater appreciation of the higher-level cognitive processes that contribute to our distinctiveness as a species. (Image Credit Drflet Wikimedia licensed CC-BY-SA 3.0)
