A complete introductory psychology course, built from the 16 chapters of OpenStax Psychology 2e plus standard introductory terminology. It opens with what psychology is and how researchers test ideas (experiments, correlation, statistics), then covers biopsychology, states of consciousness, sensation and perception, learning, thinking and intelligence, and memory. The second half moves through lifespan development, emotion and motivation, personality, social psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, stress and health, psychological disorders, and therapy and treatment. Each chapter starts with a short notes card and then mixes recall, multiple choice, cloze, true or false, and a few sequence and explain cards. Classic studies are dated and described as they were run, and contested findings such as replication problems are flagged rather than taught as settled. The cards are text only, with no diagrams.
Copied straight from the course. In the app, each wrong option also gets its own explanation.
Card 1In operant conditioning, what does the word "positive" mean?
A stimulus is added. Positive and negative describe adding or removing a stimulus, not whether the result is pleasant.
Card 2In the 1975 study by Craik and Tulving, which kind of processing of words led to the best recall?
Judging the meaning (semantic). Processing meaning is deepest, which supports the levels of processing idea that deeper processing yields better memory.
Card 3Which of these correlations shows the strongest relationship?
-0.80. Strength is the size of r ignoring its sign. The negative sign only shows that the variables move in opposite directions.

OpenStax Psychology 2e (all 16 chapters, CC BY-NC-SA) plus standard introductory terminology. The cards are rewritten, not copied.
What psychology is, research methods, biopsychology, consciousness, sensation and perception, learning, thinking and intelligence, memory, lifespan development, emotion and motivation, personality, social psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, stress and health, psychological disorders, and therapy.
Contested classics are handled with care: where a finding or its diagnostic status has changed, the card follows the current evidence and the DSM-5-TR rather than the dated textbook version.
No. Cards are text only, so brain regions, the eye and ear, and experiment set-ups are described in words.
