In this review assignment, you will find 60 pairs of psychological terms that students often find confusing. Each pair of terms fits into one or more of the following three categories: 1) Terms that are easily mixed-up simply because they sound alike (afferent & efferent), 2) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are opposing processes of the same phenomena (foot in the door & door in the face), or 3) Terms that are easily mixed-up because they are sub-classes of a greater system (sympathetic & parasympathetic).
Each problem below should be answerable in three sentences. Take one sentence to clearly and accurately state the connections between these two terms – emphasizing your depth of knowledge – going beyond any simple connections the terms may have. To complete the section on differences, you will most likely want to utilize one sentence per term – making sure that each term is accurately defined in a way that distinguishes it from the other term. An example is provided to get you started
