How to study for PSY 2012
1. Separate theorists from theories
Confusing correlation with causation in research methods (Ch 2); classical vs operant conditioning discrimination (Ch 6); the memory-stage model (Ch 8); matching theorists to theories across Ch 9-11; DSM categories in Ch 15. Make a two-column list: name on one side, claim on the other, then shuffle.
2. Drill research-methods language
Correlation vs causation, independent vs dependent, and operational definitions show up on every PSY 2012 midterm. Write one example of each in your own words.
3. Use scenarios, not definitions
Classical vs operant, memory stages, and DSM categories are easy to recite and easy to swap on a vignette. Practice with short stories.
4. Revisit early chapters in week 10
PSY 2012 is a survey. Biopsychology and research methods keep returning. Schedule a 20-minute recap of chapters 1-3 before the final.
5. Take a free retrieval pass
