BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION

predict, and understand mental and behavioral processes. Topics
studied in AP Psychology include the
nervous system, sensation and perception, learning and memory,
language, growth and development,
disorders and treatments, and the behaviors of people in groups.
Class activities range from
lecture/discussions to demonstrations and projects.

Psychology course meets daily for a full year, and students enrolled
