Psychology & Human Behaviour
How attention, memory, habits and bias shape what people do.
Evidence-informed explanations, not pop-psychology labels. Explain why people behave a certain way and a tutor challenges the simple story with a changed situation.
Understand the concepts

What you’ll learn
- Why recognising something is not the same as knowing it
- How memory is built, and why testing beats rereading
