Year 10 - Science: Experimental Psychology
Year 10 - Science: Experimental Psychology
OverviewPsychology is the science that seeks to understand human behaviour and mental processes. The study of psychology enables students to understand their behaviours and the behaviours of others and therefore has direct relevance to their personal lives. Students interested in working with people and finding answers to questions about people's behaviour would be well suited to this subject. This subject is designed to give students a general overview of Psychology and its various fields and provide pre-learning for topics covered in VCE Psychology.
