1 Welcome to AP Psychology! Psychology is the study of how we think, feel and behave. The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize yourself with some of the most influential psychological studies of all time. Knowledge of these studies and the ability to apply the theories being tested in them is crucial for this class and the AP Exam in May. Read each of the following from Forty Studies That Changed Psychology (6 th Edition), by Roger R. Hock and complete the accompanying study questions. Be sure to answer each question complete in complete sentences or paragraphs (whichever is indicated). You will be graded on your completion of the study questions as well as tested on the material covered in the studies when we return to school in August. Assignments are to be turned in digitally through turnitin.com. Our enrollment information is as follows: Class ID: Password: gondekpsych If for some reason you cannot access turnitin.com, you will need to contact me over the summer. We will be using the site to submit work throughout the year.
