  • Exercise 1: Key terminology

    • Activity 1: Key term meanings

    • Many terms in psychology can sound similar or be related to one another. It is important that learners understand these terms and what they mean.

      Give learners a list of terms, some of which are related. 

      The list in Worksheet 1: Key term meanings can be used as a basis for some of these.

      Learners find the odd one out which is unrelated to the other terms and explain why.

      Once completed use Worksheet 1: Key term meanings answers to lead a class discussion about how and why the odd one out has a different meaning.
