In this review assignment, you will find 60 pairs of psychological terms that students often find confusing. Each pair of terms fits into one or more of the following three categories: 1) Terms that are easily mixed-up simply because they sound alike (afferent & efferent), 2) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are opposing processes of the same phenomena (foot in the door & door in the face), or 3) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are sub-classes of a greater system (sympathetic & parasympathetic).
Each problem below should be answerable in three sentences. Take one sentence to clearly and accurately state the connections between these two terms - emphasizing your depth of knowledge - going beyond any simple connections the terms may have. To complete the section on differences, you will most likely want to utilize one sentence per term – making sure that each term is accurately defined in a way that distinguishes it from the other term. An example is provided to get you started
Name: AP Psychology Date: Period: Alike but Different Description: In the study of how people learn, cognitive psychologists like to differentiate between people who "know" something and people who truly have a "deep understanding" of the content. A deep understanding is often characterized by the ability to make connections across chapters, and the ability to understand the differences between concepts that at first glance might seem the same. Students often claim that the most difficult questions on a multiple-choice exam are those where every answer choice seems to be correct. These types of questions are placed on the AP Exam intentionally, and appear with greater frequency as you reach the latter portions of the exam. These questions are intended to separate students with "surface" understanding from students with "deep" understanding - numerically, we might say the 3's from the 4's and the 4's from the 5's. This exercise/review activity is designed specifically with those questions in mind. In this review assignment, you will find 60 pairs of psychological terms that students often find confusing. Each pair of terms fits into one or more of the following three categories: 1) Terms that are easily mixed-up simply because they sound alike (afferent & efferent), 2) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are opposing processes of the same phenomena (foot in the door & door in the face), or 3) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are sub-classes of a greater system (sympathetic & parasympathetic).

Example: Cross-Sectional & Longitudinal Alike because: Both cross-sectional and longitudinal are descriptive research methods that focus on testing/questioning people at different ages of life. Different because: The cross-section involves just that - sections or segments of the population who are at different ages - so we might test 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, and 40-year-olds on the same task - and we could do it all on the same day (they are different people). The longitudinal study is just that - long - in that it involves testing the 20-year-olds today, and then testing the very same people when they reach 30, and then again at 40 (long, expensive and time consuming - yet certainly better results) DUE: _____________________ Here we go: 1.
