1. Transfer item 1: Which statement best matches Week 1 Day 3 — Research Methods & Measurement? > Do not ask only, “What explains this?” Ask, “What evidence permits me to say that?” > 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. Students move beyond memorizing US/UR/CS/CR labels.

2. Transfer item 2: Which statement best matches Week 2 Day 3 — Brain Organization & Neural Networks? > The environment provides information; sensory systems detect some of it; attention selects some of it; perception organizes and interprets it. > Biology influences behavior without reducing a person to one brain region, one chemical, or one gene. - Classical conditioning: stimulus predicts stimulus. Exposure is not the same as learning.

3. Transfer item 3: Which statement best matches Week 3 Day 3 — Perception: Building Meaning? People can acquire skills, strategies, norms, emotional responses, and expectations by observing others. Language is more than a collection of words. > The environment provides information; sensory systems detect some of it; attention selects some of it; perception organizes and interprets it. Categories make thinking efficient, but a useful category is not a perfect boundary.

4. Transfer item 4: Which statement best matches Week 4 Day 3 — Shaping, Schedules & Habit Formation? Remembering rebuilds an event from stored details, prior knowledge, current cues, and later information. Better thinking does not mean never being wrong. Emotion can involve several interacting components: 1. Shaping builds complex behavior gradually by reinforcing closer approximations to a target.

5. Transfer item 5: Which statement best matches Week 5 Day 3 — Retrieval, Forgetting & the Science of Studying? Forgetting is not one process, and poor recall does not automatically mean information has been erased.

Personality cannot be observed directly in the way height can.

13. Transfer item 13: Which statement best matches Week 9 Day 5 — Self-Concept, Values, Culture & Personality Without Labels? People differ not only in personality traits but also in self-concept, values, goals, identities, experiences, social roles, and opportunities. People often use other people as information.

14. Transfer item 14: Which statement best matches Week 10 Day 1 — Social Influence, Norms & Conformity? The body's adaptive systems are designed to respond and recover.

15. Transfer item 15: Which statement best matches Week 10 Day 2 — Attribution: Person, Situation & the Stories We Tell?
