Psychology
Welcome to BTEC Applied Psychology
What is Psychology?
Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour, and the processes that connect them. It means that we are interested in why and how humans function. Psychology is a field interested in all aspects of life and goes beyond understanding just human behaviours to include comparisons with animals and forensic approaches to evidence-gathering.
Its most common sub-disciplines include cognitive psychology (understanding how the brain and mind function), social psychology (individual, group, and population behaviour) and biological psychology (understanding how our biochemistry and structure affects behaviour),
The following activities are all about memory (a part of cognitive psychology). Have a go at them and see what you can discover about your own memory!
