Write a 2- page (double-spaced) paper applying 10 psychology concepts to your own life.  In your paper, try to illustrate that you have thought deeply about the concepts.  A concept is defined as a definition/term, a group of ideas (e.g., school of thought), or a theory from the textbook and/or class notes.  You should use more than one chapter in the text to obtain your 10 concepts; preferably use various chapters.  Feel free to use concepts from chapters we have not yet discussed. 

You must boldface, underline, and number each concept.  (You can also italicize).  For 

example:  “I used positive reinforcement (1) with my cousin the other day when I…”  “A

few days before taking an exam, I used various mnemonic devices (2) to study such 

as…”  (Note to students:  you would need to explain/apply these concepts more 

thoroughly than shown here).  Please avoid basic terms, such as the “eye,” “depression,” 

or “alcoholism.”  These terms are so basic and a part of our everyday culture that using 

them does not assist in learning.from chapters we have not yet discussed.
