Concept Maps

Let’s face it, every college freshman is required to take Psychology 101. So you buy the textbook, read the information (maybe), and take notes in class. But do you remember all that information? Try using a concept map. A concept map is a visual way to represent information. For a quick introduction, click on this link concept map.

Now that you know what a concept map is, take a look at this example. This information was taken from the following web site: http://allpsych.com/psychology101.
