Personal beliefs and values in the context of cognitive psychology

This week’s discussion was specially created to help you analyze concepts and knowledge (course learning goal #5) as well as to identify your own personal beliefs and values in the context of cognitive psychology (course learning goal #6).  Please share what you understand about concepts.  What are some ways we organize concepts?  How do concepts contribute to the development of expertise? How is this happening for you as you study psychology in pursuit of a new career adventure? How do concepts contribute to the use of stereotypes?
