About The Mind - Psychology & Neuroscience Quizzes
The Mind - Psychology & Neuroscience is a SuperCategory about how thinking, feeling and behaviour work and how they came to be studied: the founders and the schools of thought, the brain and nervous system, how the senses build a picture of the world, how we learn and remember and reason, the quirks and biases of judgement, how people act in groups, how the mind changes across a lifetime, and how personality, intelligence and mental health are understood and measured.
The planned quizzes are Foundations and the History of Psychology; The Brain and Nervous System; Sensation and Perception; Learning, Memory and Cognition; Cognitive Biases and Judgement; Social Psychology; Development Across the Lifespan; and Personality, Intelligence and Mental Health.
Every question describes a founder, a school, a theorist, a study, a method or a concept and asks you to name it from four choices of the same kind, then explains it. The quizzes are knowledge quizzes. Where a question carries a picture it is a neutral object from the history of the field, such as a model brain or a laboratory apparatus, chosen so that it cannot give the answer away. Facts have been checked against standard reference works.
