Study by subject

Psychology

In psychology you memorise theories, researchers, famous experiments and technical vocabulary. Lumi asks them back, while critical thinking and methodology are yours.

How to turn this subject into cards

Make one note per theory, experiment and concept, with the researcher, the date, the procedure in one sentence, the finding and the limitation. Lumi quizzes names, concepts, definitions and key findings. The classic trap is remembering the name without the procedure, or the reverse. So learn both together. For this kind of content, quizzing yourself without notes works better than rereading (Dunlosky et al., 2013).
