Psychology Learning and Revision Resources
Anyone who has studied the Levels of Processing Model of Memory understands that learning must be an active rather than a passive process. Information that is processed in a deep (i.e. semantic) way has a greater chance of being stored and later recalled (compared with information processed in a shallow way). Learning should be fun and actively engage the student / learner.The learning and revision resources on this page will test your knowledge of psychology, and also help you develop a greater understanding of psychological concepts.
