Review Activities: Chapter 7

Visit this site to review the difference between classical and operant conditioning.

When you feel like you have that down, try these exercises to test yourself.

Then, browse through the Quizlet website (where users create their own flashcards) and see how much you know about psychology based on someone else's flashcards! You can test out various sets to help review for the cumulative portion of the test.

Make good use of the time you have in class Wednesday. If you come across anything you need help with, stop by and see me Thursday. Good luck!
