Document Summary

8: make summary notes, make up test questions. As you start look at the heading and decide what it is about. Look for the big picture - how does this fit into everything. Paraphrase the section, and put notes in the margins. Psychology: the scientific study of behaviour and the factors that influence it, psychology is whatever psychologists do. Basic research: the quest for knowledge purely for its own sake. Applied research: the quest from information designed to solve specific practical problems. Jigsaw program: a program that requires children to cooperate with one another rather than compete against each other - example: robbers cave. Perspectives: vantage points for analyzing behaviour and its biological, psychological and environmental causes. Mind-body dualism: the belief that the mind is a spiritual entity not subject to the physical laws of the body. Monoism: holds that the mind is not a separate spiritual entity from the body.
