Study Guide for Exam #1: Thursday, Jan. 30th at 2 p.m.

in TR124

Here is a complete list of concepts and terms that you will be tested on.
A. Psychological Science:
a. Be able to define the term ‘psychology’ as a field of scientific study.
b. Distinguish between the Neuroscience, Cognitive, Behaviorism, Clinical Psychology, Psychodynamic theory
B. Brain structures and function:
a. Know the locations and be able to label the four brain lobes: occipital, parietal, temporal, frontal.
b. Know what split-brain patients can and can’t do with information presented selectively to the right or left hemisphere.
c. Be able to label the main parts of a neuron on a diagram: axon, dendrites, myelin sheath, cell body, axon terminal and know
their functions.
