1. Transfer item 1: Which statement best matches Week 1 Day 1 — What Is Psychology?? > Biology influences behavior without reducing a person to one brain region, one chemical, or one gene. > The environment provides information; sensory systems detect some of it; attention selects some of it; perception organizes and interprets it. People can acquire skills, strategies, norms, emotional responses, and expectations by observing others. > Do not ask only, “What explains this?” Ask, “What evidence permits me to say that?”

2. Transfer item 2: Which statement best matches Week 2 Day 1 — Neurons & Neural Communication? > Biology influences behavior without reducing a person to one brain region, one chemical, or one gene. > The environment provides information; sensory systems detect some of it; attention selects some of it; perception organizes and interprets it. Shaping builds complex behavior gradually by reinforcing closer approximations to a target. Remembering rebuilds an event from stored details, prior knowledge, current cues, and later information.

3. Transfer item 3: Which statement best matches Week 3 Day 1 — Sensation & Transduction? Reinforcement increases future behavior; punishment decreases it. > The environment provides information; sensory systems detect some of it; attention selects some of it; perception organizes and interprets it.

Heuristics reduce cognitive effort and often work well, especially in familiar environments. Adolescence includes major physical change, expanding social worlds, increasing independence, and continued growth in cognitive and self-regulatory systems. People differ not only in personality traits but also in self-concept, values, goals, identities, experiences, social roles, and opportunities.

16. Transfer item 16: Which statement best matches Week 6 Day 3 — Confirmation Bias, Framing & Decision-Making? Self-efficacy concerns the expectation that one can organize and carry out actions needed for a particular task. Development does not stop at adulthood. Good reasoning does not require having no prior beliefs. Personality psychology asks how and why people show both consistency and variation in thinking, feeling, and behavior.

17. Transfer item 17: Which statement best matches Week 6 Day 4 — Intelligence & Psychological Measurement? Behavior rarely provides a complete explanation of itself. Developmental psychology asks how people change and remain stable over time. Trait models organize personality differences by measuring people along continua. Intelligence tests provide information about performance on defined cognitive tasks under standardized conditions.

18. Transfer item 18: Which statement best matches Week 6 Day 5 — Metacognition, Calibration & the Critical Thinking Lab? Better thinking does not mean never being wrong.
