Best Way to Learn Psychology in Easy Manner.
Follow
the below tips you can easily learn Psychology
Understand
and Apply Concepts. Although it is
important to become familiar with and recall
important terms and concepts, it is even more important that you are able to
understand and apply those concepts.
Actively
Read the Chapter. Use your own
system to comprehend and remember the information
in your textbook chapters. Highlighting important concepts or finding other
ways to emphasize important points is helpful.
Additionally, taking notes or writing the information
in your own words in the margins can help you understand the information.
Concentrate
on Understanding the Lecture. If you
don't understand information when you hear it,
frantically writing it down probably won't help. Write down the most important points and any related examples. One way to do
this is to divide your notepaper in half;
write down the content of the lecture on the left side and any
corresponding examples on the right. If you don’t understand the
material, ask questions.
Study
Regularly. Read the assigned chapters
prior to class because this will help you understand
lectures. Review your notes very soon after the lecture. This helps you remember material and it gives you the opportunity to ask
the instructor or classmates about things you
missed or didn't understand. Continually review the information, even when you only have small amounts of time. Consistently
studying note cards when you have free time
can be very helpful. Cross-reference the information from your textbook with material discussed in class.
Create
Study Guides. A comprehensive study
guide will be detailed enough that you are
able to truly understand the important concepts, but not too detailed that you
are unable to filter out the less pertinent
information. Don’t directly copy textbook sentences into your study guide. Using your own words assists in
comprehension. The study guide should incorporate
information from both the chapter and class lectures.
First,
Study Alone. When studying alone,
carefully review your notes and the textbook, create
study guides or index review cards, and see how well you understand and can
apply important concepts.
Next, Study with Classmates. Once you feel confident with the
material by studying alone, study with one or more classmates. By studying with
others, you are able to discuss important
concepts and see how well you can explain or demonstrate what you know. You can work together on comparing and contrasting
similar concepts (e.g. sensation vs.
perception; classical conditioning vs. operant conditioning). Studying with
a classmate helps to expose gaps in your knowledge,
as well as identify what knowledge you have
already retained. Write sample test questions for each other, especially those
where you must apply concepts in examples of
situations. You'll learn both by writing the
questions and by answering your friend's questions.
