Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a step-by-step learned procedure for solving a problem, which guarantees a correct solution. Schemas are mental frameworks that organize information and guide perception and interpretation. Cognitive maps are mental representations of spatial relationships and orientations. Heuristics are mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that can lead to efficient problem-solving, but not necessarily to the correct solution.
