B block:  extra credit
Due in hard copy by the start of your class meeting time on Monday 10/6, and worth 5 points of extra credit if done well.  Please type and double space.

Respond in a paragraph and underline the terms as you apply them:

Amy is training for a marathon.  How would a psychologist working from each of the following perspectives explain Amy's motivations (i.e. why might she want to run a marathon)?

• Cognitive 
• Behavioral 
• Neuropsychological (you know more about this now, so your example needs to be good!)

test info

Fact or falsehood for unit 1:  #s 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are true - the others are falsehoods
Unit 2:  #s 4, 5, 8 and 9 are true - the rest are false

end of unit practice quiz answers (from your book):  you can find them in this document.

Reminder that the format of the test tomorrow (Friday 9/19) will be multiple choice (75 points) with a free response prompt (25 points).  For the free response, you'll be given a situation and 5 terms, and will need to explain how the 5 terms could apply in the given situation.

Definitely focus on unit 2 terms - there will be a minimal amount on the history of the discipline, but a good amount on the schools/approaches to psychology (psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral, etc.).
