Q: What is the Psych Test Prep site?
May 22, 2008 by admin
This site is for students who want to do well on their psychology tests. There are lots of websites (including one that came with your textbook) that contain lots of tutorials and lengthy explanations for all those terms in your book. If you want someone to explain Pavlov’s concepts of conditioned and unconditioned stimulus and response, you’ll find it. If you want a video about what Pavlov did, you can probably find that on YouTube. You’ll find an animation of dogs salivating somewhere.
But how are you going to remember those terms?
That’s what this site is about - helping you to remember what you need to remember in order to do well on your psych test.
I’m a psychologist and a mnemonics fanatic. I think mnemonics are great. They’re fun to think up and better than that, they’re useful. That’s what’s different about this site. And - no lengthy tutorials or explanations.
If you want some examples of mnemonic devices geared specifically for students taking a psychology class, check out my other site - The Psych Files podcast. Click on mnemonics in the tag cloud, or just click here: mnemonics for psychology.
Be sure to come back before you take your next psychology test.
